8 Must-know AutoCAD Viewport Tips & Tricks – How to Create, Scale, and Master Viewports! Examples

Posted on by faz_business


Hey Everybody!

I hope your week is going well so far and you’ve been able to enjoy some of the nice weather lately!

Around here it’s been hot and luckily not too smoky from forest fires, and we have some rain in the forecast which is much needed.

A few weeks ago my family and I went out on a bit of an exploring mission to find a lake we had never been to and I happened to bring along my drone to get a few pictures.

 
After getting home and taking a look at them, I’m always amazed at how easy technology can make it to
get more information and data than we’ve ever had available for our designs or hobbies. In my case, I use a DJI Mini but there are so many different options that make getting images easy!

This brings me to the sponsor of today’s video as well as the topic of the video (viewports in AutoCAD) which we will touch on next.

Today’s video is sponsored by Plex Earth. Plex Earth allows you to instantly import recent and historical imagery, terrain data, and contours directly into our AutoCAD drawings. They even have the option to order and schedule a drone flight for your project area within the app if you need even more up-to-date imagery!

If you haven’t given Plex Earth a try yet, I highly recommend them. If you use the link down below, you can get a free trial of Plex earth pro for cad intentions viewers.

Now let’s jump in, this week I wanted to dive deep into some of my favorite tips and tricks for Creating Viewports and working with them quickly!

As I’m sure you’re probably aware, viewports and layouts tend to be the most confusing and asked-about topics when it comes to AutoCAD or Civil 3d.

I completely understand the frustration and can sympathize with those that tend to just ignore or avoid using them entirely.

But after being a major part of AutoCAD/Civil 3D and the drawing creation process for years, I wanted to help and share today’s video where we walk through the process of creating a Site/Key plan drawing using multiple viewports and using a handful of must-know Viewport tips & tricks in the process!

By following these steps and using the commands and tips in the video, you’ll be able to easily create multiple viewports, understand the locking and unlocking of views, how to cycle between them, what to do if you get stuck in a viewport, and much more!

AutoCAD Viewports Explained! Layout / Paper Space Tutorial & Must-Know Tips

Posted on by faz_business


Hey All!

I hope you’re off to a great week so far and getting some good weather in you’re area. It’s already warming up here and we’re back to an unusually warm “winter”.

This week, I wanted to share a new video where we are diving into how viewports work in AutoCAD.

Easily one of the most common questions and sticking points when learning AutoCAD is the difference and use for Model space versus Paper or Layout Space.

A big part of the confusion or learning curve is many users have difficulty fully understanding what or how a viewport is used. Along with what it can do for us as designers!

In today’s video we take a look at many of the common questions that come up when learning to create drawings/sheets in AutoCAD, including; what is a viewport? what’s the difference between model space and paper/layout space? How do we create viewports? How to lock/unlock them? How to move them? How to make multiple viewports and much more!

Check out this week’s video below or here: https://youtu.be/5QheAJYcd9o

That’s all for today, I hope you were able to take something away from the tutorial, and if you have any questions be sure to leave a comment below or reach out on Twitter @cadintentions.

As always, thank you so much for reading, I am excited to be back and posting regularly on the blog and hope you all will follow along.
