Topic: Number of viewports in paperspace

[Artisan]

I know I am missing it somewhere, but I have used a command that sets the number of viewports in paperspace. I just can't recall the command. Anyone know what I am talking about? Thanks

[drizzt]

view menu, viewports....

[ELOQUINTET]

do you mean the limit of viewports. if so it's

maxactvp

[Artisan]

Thanks drizzt, but that's not what I am looking for. When I create a viewport in paperspace using the MVIEW command, I can only create 2 right now. When I create the 3rd one, I cannot activate that viewport by double clicking in it. I remember a command that allowed you to set the number of viewports some time again, but I cannot recall it now.

Found it. MAXACTVP

Thanks ELOQUINTET, I didn't catch your post before posting my last one. That was the command I was looking for. Now I have another situation. I use to be able to copy one viewport on the same paperspace tab to another location on the sheet and activate it and set it to view what I needed. Now when I copy the viewport, it will not let me activate it by double clicking into it. I have to create a new viewport by using the MVIEW command over and over. Is there a setting for that?

[Artisan]

Ok, found the answer to that question as well. I need to turn on the viewport with the MVIEW command for it to become active.

gee artisan, been talking to yourself for very long?  

[Artisan]

CADaver,

Not to long. The other cad worker here asked me what command scales an object larger. Can you see why I ask and answer my own questions when I can?

[t-bear]

Sooooo....what's the answer?!?   LOL

[CADaver]

The invert of the one that scales stuff smaller, of course.

[Artisan]

Clever answer CADaver, I'll have to remember that one. I have one more notable quote from my co-worker: now exactly how do you type in 3/32"?

What do you say?

[t-bear]

3/64*2

[hyposmurf]

Or type 3/32 ,select the text right click and stack it.

[Artisan]

Good answer bear, but I'm afraid that would confuse her even more. I have a hard enough time explaining some of my answers as it is now.

Wait till she's has to add a super/subscript character,shell think shes had a tough day.
