Command to draw vport limits in model space?
« on: February 04, 2011, 10:44:54 AM »
Need to draw the current paper space model view limits in model space.

Is there a command or a lisp routine to do this?

I usually trace viewport and then "CHSPACE".

I + XI = X is true ...  ... if you change your perspective.

I no longer CAD or Model, I just hang out here picking up the empties beer cans

Thanks,
The chspace command works great.

(I use the boundary command to create the polyline.)

Take a look at the code in the link ... IMO it's a much better solution.

The code in the link does work better. If I find myself needing it a lot, I will use that.

For just once in a while, the chspace beats loading the lsp code.

Just load using the startup suite (suitcase looking button) found in appload command.  This will load the command automatticly for you.  All you have to do is remember the command call a month from now.   :wink:  :-D
