Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. 124 AutoCAD and Its Applications—Advanced port into additional viewports or assign a different viewpoint to each viewport. The options for these functions are provided in the New Viewports tab of the Viewports dialog box. These options are located along the bottom of the Viewports dialog box, as shown in Figure 5-5: • Apply to. • Setup. • Change view to. • Visual style. Apply To When a preset viewport confi guration is selected from the Standard viewports: list, it can be applied to either the entire display or the current viewport. The previous examples have shown how to create viewports that replace the entire display. Applying a confi guration to the active viewport rather than the entire display can be useful when you need to display additional viewports. For example, fi rst create a confi guration of three viewports using the Three: Right confi guration option. Then, with the right (large) viewport active, open the Viewports dialog box again. Notice that the drop-down list under Apply to: is grayed out. Now, pick one of the standard confi gurations. This enables the Apply to: drop-down list. The default option is Display, which means the selected viewport confi guration will replace the current display. Pick the drop-down list arrow to reveal the second option, Current Viewport. Pick this option and then pick the OK button. Notice that the selected viewport confi guration has been applied to only the active (right) viewport. See Figure 5-12. Setup Viewports can be set up to display views in 2D or 3D. The 2D and 3D options are provided in the Setup: drop-down list. Displaying different views while working on a drawing allows you to see the results of your work on each view, since changes are refl ected in each viewport as you draw. The selected viewport Setup: option controls the types of views available in the Change view to: drop-down list. New configuration is applied to the viewport Figure 5-12. The selected viewport configuration has been applied to the active viewport within the original configuration.
