Paperspace Viewport

Getting Started  Previous  Next

Paperspace Viewport Entity is a rectangular entity through which a 3D scene can be shown.  In hsCADCreator, Paperspace Viewport Entity shows a view of the 3D Modelspace. Paperspace Viewport Entity can only be created on a paperspace layout.  By default, hsCADCreator creates two paperspace layouts with all new drawings.  They are named "layout1" and "layout2".  To facilitate viewing of drawing through multiple viewports in Modelspace, hsCADCreator utilizes pre-set multiple viewports through Pre-configured Viewport Tool . Depending on whether the viewport exists on Modelspace or Paperspace they are defined as Modelspace viewport object and Paperspace viewport entity.
