Join Shaun Bryant for an in-depth discussion in this video Viewports: Layout, part of AutoCAD: Plotting & Publishing.
- [Voiceover] We're staying in our…04_Viewports.dwg file,…and I'm sure you'll follow me along…with your local saved copy as well.…Now, you'll notice we're still in the Model tab…after our previous video where we looked at…the viewport options available to us…in the Model tab itself.…Now, the reason I've stayed in the Model tab…is I want to show you a subtle difference to viewports…in the layout tabs.…When you're in the Model tab, you'll notice…at the top of the ribbon you've got your tabs,…Home, Insert, Annotate, and so on.…
If I wanted to create Model tab viewports,…I would go to the View tab…and use the Model Viewports panel there…like we did in the previous video.…I'm gonna go back now to the Home tab on the ribbon.…Now, if I go into something like the Stair A layout,…you'll notice we have a new contextual tab…over here on the right-hand side.…There's our Layout tab there.…This is very important.…This changed quite a while back in AutoCAD…where basically you now have layout viewports…and model viewports.…
They are different.…
