how to create a perspective viewport?

[jchan]

we know that viewport is really powerful to present the 2d & 3d stuffs on one sheet. my questions are, can we create a perspective viewport? or can we link a camera view to a viewport?

I'm not sure the use of camera is it for animation only?

thanks for anyone can help ^^

Sure you can do that. Simply create the camera view, then create a VP from it.

the other poosibility is go into vp crop and use fly over tool to set view

Go with Peter's suggestion - much easier to get the view the way you want it first and then create the Viewport.

If you have RenderWorks, you can use the RenderWorks camera to set up a view, and then display the camera view. I find it much easier to visualize views that way.

thanks all,

questions again, ^^

is camera view = viewport? Cause I couldn't use carema in sheet layer, so is it any method I can make several perspective views in sheetlayer/ or one sheet?, cause I want to put some annontation on it and use different type of rendering.

The camera needs to be placed on the design layer.

If you want to change the view of a viewport, edit the viewport crop and modify the view from there.

Place annotations while editing the viewport annotation part.

No, the camera is to be used in a design layer (or layers, with stack layers on). Then, you create a viewport (VP) of the camera's view, and place the VP on a sheet layer...

What's going on Pete - you are right on my heels with posts today!!

*Laugh*

I think I can afford a coke - I'll put it in the mail. Just don't open it as soon as it arrives.

LOL. We are visiting our daughter and her new baby (our first grandchild!) in Spain. So my clock is set a few hours ahead of yours, instead of the usual few hours behind ;-) Best-
