Scaling a viewport AND its contents possible?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Sometimes I find myself wanting to scale a viewport down a little bit to fit on a sheet, and I would like its contents to scale with it, but it doesn't work like that. Is there a way to do that in one shot?

1) Turn the Viewport into a block

2) Scale the block

3) Explode the block

Scale a viewport down a "little bit". Sounds like scale is of no big importance to you. Why can't you just resize the viewport, enter model space through the viewport and do a zoom > window? Won't that fit the contents to the viewport?

@ReMark - yes, that's the way I've done it before, but it just always seems like a pain to get it right again, especially if the viewport is an irregular polygon.

@nestly - thanks, takes a few steps, but it does just what I was looking for.
