Viewports within design layer

[TBrown]

I think I may already know the answer to this problem, but just need some reassurance.

If I have a Floor Plan and want to create a viewport of a particular portion of the plan at a larger scale, but have it appear with said floor plan.....do I need to create a viewport of the plan first on a sheet layer, then create a viewport of the area I need detailed on the same sheet layer???

That's correct. You can even create the first viewport and create the cropped, scaled detail viewport from it by drawing the 2-D cropping object on top of that viewport, selecting it and the cropping object, and selecting Create Viewport again. It will create a cropped duplicate of the original viewport. Then change the scale and any other things you want changed for the detail viewport.

Or, you can simply duplicate the first VP, then change its scale and cropping, and move it where you want it.
