Modifying layout viewports

After you create layout viewports, you can modify them as needed. On the Layout tab, you can snap to the viewport borders using entity snap. You can also copy, delete, move, scale, and stretch layout viewports as you would any other drawing entity.

Modifying a layout viewport on a Layout tab does not affect the model space entities within the layout viewport.

To modify layout viewport properties

1. Click the desired Layout tab.
2. Do one of the following:
   • Choose Modify > Properties.
   • On the Modify toolbar, click the Properties tool ().
   • Type entprop and then press Enter.
3. Select the edge of the layout viewport you want to modify.
4. Adjust the center point, width, or height of the viewport.
5. In Scale, enter the scale at which you want to view model space entities in the layout viewport.
6. Click OK.

NOTE You can only select layout viewports for modification. If you click a viewport on the Model tab, it makes that viewport active, not available for modification.
