Align

Pans the display in a viewport to align it with a base point in a reference viewport; prompts you:

Enter an option [Angled/Horizontal alignment/Vertical alignment/Rotate view/Undo] - (enter an option.)

Depending on the relative position of the two viewports, the display of the panned viewport might be shifted outside of the viewport boundary.

Angled

Pans the view in the second viewport is panned over the specified distance and angle.

1. Specify basepoint - (pick a point in the reference viewport.)

2. Specify point in viewport to be panned - (pick a point, which will be used as the anchor point.)

3. Specify offset distance from base - (specify the desired distance between the basepoint and the anchor point. Either type the distance or pick two points.)

4. Specify angle from base - (specify the desired angle of the line between the basepoint and the anchor point. Either type the angle or pick two points.)

Horizontal

Pans the view in the second viewport vertically to align the base point and the anchor point horizontally; prompts you:

1. Specify basepoint - (pick a point in the reference viewport.)

2. Specify point in viewport to be panned - (pick a point, which will be used as the anchor point.)

Vertical

Pans the view in the second viewport horizontally to align the base point and the anchor point vertically; prompts you:

1. Specify basepoint - (pick a point in the reference viewport.)

2. Specify point in viewport to be panned - (pick a point, which will be used as the anchor point.)

Rotate view

Rotates the view in the viewport by the specified angle; prompts you:

1. Specify basepoint in the viewport to be rotated - (pick a point to define the basepoint of the rotation.)

2. Specify rotation angle - (enter a rotation angle or pick a second point.)

When the VPROTATEASSOC variable is on, the display in a viewport is rotated if you rotate the viewport.

Undo

Undoes the previous alignment action and returns to the alignment options prompt.

Create

Creates viewports in the current layout; prompts you:

Enter an option [Delete objects/Create viewports/Undo] <Create viewports> - (enter an option.)

Delete entities

Deletes viewport entities; prompts you:

Select entities - (select the viewports you want to delete.)

Create Viewports

Creates new viewports; prompts you:

Enter choice for layout options <0-3> [None/Single/Std. Engineering/Array of viewports] <0> - (enter an option):

• 0 (None) - makes no viewports
• 1 (Single) - makes a single viewport; prompts you:

1. Specify first corner of bounding area for viewport(s) - (pick a point.)

2. Other corner of rectangle - (pick a point.)

• 2 (Std Engineering) - makes four viewports preset to top, front, right and south-east isometric viewpoints; prompts you:

1. Specify first corner of bounding area for viewport(s) - (pick a point.)

2. Other corner of rectangle - (pick a point.)

3. Specify distance between viewports in X direction <0.000> - (enter a horizontal spacing distance between viewports.)

4. Specify distance between viewports in Y direction <0.000> - (enter a vertical spacing distance between viewports.)

• 3 (Array of viewports) - creates the number of viewports that you want; prompts you:

1. Specify first corner of bounding area for viewport(s) - (pick a point.)

2. Other corner of rectangle - (pick another point.)

3. Enter number of viewports in X direction <1> - (type the number of viewports you want placed across the drawing horizontally.)

4. Enter number of viewports in Y direction <1> - (type the number of viewports you want vertically.)

5. Specify distance between viewports in X direction <0.000> - (enter a horizontal spacing distance between viewports.)

6. Specify distance between viewports in Y direction <0.000> - (enter a vertical spacing distance between viewports.)

Undo

Undoes the creation of viewports.

Scale Viewports

Specifies the scaling inside viewports; prompts you:

1. Select entities - (select the viewport entities you want to scale.)
   Entities in set: 20

2. Select entities - (select more viewports, or press Enter to stop selecting viewports.)

3. Set the scaling mode of viewports: Interactively/<Uniform> - (press Enter to scale all viewports equally, or else choose Interactively to set the scale for each viewport separately.)

4. Enter the number of paper space units <1.0> - (enter a number.)

5. Enter the number of model space units <1.0> - (enter a number.)

Undo

Undoes all operations executed by the current MvSetup command session.
