Harold Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Hi All, I have been taught ACad from school and now working for Firm, I am also using it. Furthermore, I am used to deal with the viewports from ACad. Now I have been reading that VW 11.5 is including that feature. Great! But how did the previous versions manage to make a presentation sheet without viewports? Thanks! (I will need an answer about that very soon, I am sure) Quote Link to comment

What version are you working on? Quote Link to comment
Harold Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 I am using VW-Arch.-Rend. 10.5.1 Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 version 11 has viewports but all the previous versions did not. Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 upgrade to VectorWorks 11.5. The addition of viewports makes this a valuable upgrade and well worth the money (in my opinion) Quote Link to comment
Kevin Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 If you are just learning to use Vectorworks, then I agree with Jonathan. Upgrade. No sense learning how to use the non-viewport version when all current and future versions will use viewports. Quote Link to comment
Harold Posted April 15, 2005 Author Share Posted April 15, 2005 I am thinking seriously in upgrading. However, I would like to learn the software more in depth first. One question: How can I print several drawings in one sheet? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted April 15, 2005 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 15, 2005 The short answer is, create a viewport for each. Quote Link to comment
Harold Posted April 15, 2005 Author Share Posted April 15, 2005 How about in previous versions to version 11.5.? How difficult can it be? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted April 15, 2005 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 15, 2005 Well, viewports were introduced in 11.0, so any 11.x version will have them. Their intent is to allow easy multi-view, multi-scale clipped drawing presentation on a single sheet. If this is what you're doing, run (don't walk) to your phone and order the upgrade. There is simply no sense in learning the old work-arounds. Quote Link to comment
