LEARNING OBJECTIVES

After completing this lesson, you will be able to:

1. Create a multiview layout for plotting.

2. PAN a drawing image within a viewport.

PAN

After you adjust the scale of a viewport sometimes the drawing, within the viewport frame, is not placed as you would like it. If you use Zoom / All, the scale will not be correct and you would need to re-adjust the scale. (Refer to the example on page 29-3)

This is where the PAN command comes in handy. The PAN command will allow you to move the drawing around, within the viewport, without affecting the adjusted scale.

Note: Do not use the MOVE command. You do not want to actually move the original drawing. You only want to slide the viewport image, of the original drawing, around within the viewport.

This will make more sense after you have completed Exercise 29 , step 3.

How to use the PAN command.

1. Unlock the viewport.

2. Activate the viewport. (Double click inside viewport)

3. Select the PAN command using one of the following:

   • TYPE = P

   • PULLDOWN = VIEW / PAN / REALTIME

   • TOOLBAR = STANDARD

1. Place the cursor inside the viewport and hold the left mouse button down while moving the cursor. (Click and drag) When the drawing is in the desired location release the mouse button.

2. Lock the viewport.

   Now you can use the Zoom commands and it will not affect the adjusted scale.

Note: You may set the wheel on your wheel...
