Viewport ?

Assuming Acad 2000+, you can clip it with a boundary something like:

............................. . . . . . . . . ................ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...... . . . . . . . .............................

....being one, single, closed pline.

Using 2002 Land Desktop, I know I could use vpclip, but would rather not as it would be a real pain. Is there like a transparency setting or something?

Thanks

There is not a transparency setting that I am aware of.

Forgive me for asking, but what is so painful about it? Easy as pie.

Two other options I can think of:

1. Place a wipeout in the 'big' viewport to wipeout the area where the small viewport is to go. (I don't recommend this for reasons I don't care to explain at this point.)
2. Create 4 rectangular viewports to get the desired result. Note that this is much more painful than my first suggestion.

the "vpclip" is easy as pie, I have used it several times, but for this application it would just be a pain and not really work for what I'm wanting.

thanks

Define 'made'.

Mabye I should clarify. Easy as baking a pie. ;)

If you'd care to elaborate on why it won't work, I'd be happy to try offerring other suggestions.

Yes! So there!

Have you tried using the superhatch that comes with the express tools.

Hatch a wipeout over the large viewport, then put your smaller viewport over the top. use the draworder to make the necessary adjustments.

Works for me:)
