Tip for Week 5/2/05

 
If a user of AutoCAD 2005 highlights a viewport in one of the layout tabs and then right-clicks, an abundant array of choices appears in the pop-up list. 

The first listing is "Maximize Viewport" which when chosen will zap the user from the layout tab into a model space view replicating the same viewpoint and magnification as the viewport.  A very small icon to the right of your paper/model button at the bottom of your screen will change to have the arrow point down and to the right.  This button, when depressed, will return you to your layout tab of the original viewport.  This toggle works whether or not the viewport is locked.

Don't just stop at the top listing, use the lock viewport and several other listing several times to imprint them in your memory for future use.
