Lesson 32 | Using Viewports

This lesson describes how to create a new rectangular viewport, set the viewport scale factor, and manipulate viewports.

Viewports are a key component in the ability to plot model space geometry from a layout. Each viewport acts as a display portal from the paper layout to the geometry in model space. By creating multiple viewports in a single layout, you can display different aspects of the model geometry at different scales on the same page.
