Title: Modelspace coordinates from paperspace viewports?
Post by: hardwired on March 31, 2008, 09:33:24 AM: Hi,

How can i access the modelspace coordinates from paperspace viewports?

Is there a quick way or is it more complex than a simple property or in-built function?

The rectangle has been covered in past posts and a solution for 2d given perhaps the lisp gives a better solution for isoviews
