Kaare Baekgaard Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 By drawing a rectangle or other 2D shape in the crop view (double click and select ) - set it to no fill and no line. Quote Link to comment
cbaarch Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 you can create an object such as rectangle/polygon in the design layer covering the area that you want on the sheet leave the object selected and create a viewport it will ask if you want to use the object if there is no sheet created already you can create a sheet in the dialog scroll up to see New sheet. close dialog and the cropped VP shows up on the sheet Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 If you have the viewport in the sheet layer, double click on it. Choose Crop from the choices and click OK draw a rectangle (or any closed shape) to define the area of the crop Click on the Exit Viewport Crop button at the top right of the screen.

LarryAZ Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 That's a great tip. However, don't try it on a VP this already cropped. You check into the Hotel California. You can't get out without quiting. Quote Link to comment
NickB Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Larry, you can Undo to get out of that situation. It occurs when the class of the existing crop shape is turned off in the viewport's class visibilities and you draw a second crop with that same class. At this point both crops are invisible and impossible to select and you can't access the VPs class visibilities to turn it back on... And then as you say, you are stuck. Quote Link to comment
David Bertrand Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I just had this same issue come up. NickB is right on. The key is to click on the vp, then go to the object info palette where you can turn the invisible class back on. Don't try to turn it on at the class menu for the layer because that won't work - this is where I got confused. After revising the vp crop, go back to the object info palette and turn it off again.

NickB Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 David, I would just suggest that you leave the class on in the object info palette, but set both the fill and the line to 'none'. That way you won't see the crop, but you can do a 'select all' if you get in the situation described and it will select the crop object - when I tried to do it the same way that you suggested I always forgot to turn it on first. just a thought, Nick Quote Link to comment
David Bertrand Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 set both the fill and the line to 'none' Great idea. Quote Link to comment
