Editing a viewport, which allows you to modify how you interact with or display the active file's values, can be accomplished through two primary methods within the software interface.
To effectively edit a viewport, it's essential to first open a file. Once a file is active, you can proceed with the editing process using one of the following methods:
Method 1: Using the Viewport Window Interface
This method is intuitive and relies on direct interaction with the viewport display itself.
- Locate the Viewport: Identify the specific viewport window you wish to edit.
- Access the Menu: Look for an arrow positioned in the right-hand corner of the viewport window.
- Select a Command: Click on this arrow to reveal a pop-up menu. From this menu, you can select a command to perform specific edits or adjustments to the viewport's properties or display settings.
Method 2: Using the Viewports Window
For a more direct approach to accessing detailed editing options, you can use the dedicated Viewports window.
- Open the Viewports Window: Navigate to and open the Viewports window. This window typically lists all available viewports by name.
- Locate the Viewport Name: Find the specific name of the viewport you intend to modify within this list.
- Open the Edit Dialog: Double-click on the viewport's name. This action will immediately make the Edit viewport dialog box appear. This dialog box provides comprehensive options for adjusting various parameters of the selected viewport, allowing you to tailor its behavior and appearance.
These methods enable you to adjust the viewport's settings, which directly affects how the values of the active file are presented and interacted with.
Summary of Viewport Editing Methods
For quick reference, here's a table summarizing the two approaches:
| Method | Action | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Viewport Window Interface | Click arrow in right-hand corner of window | Pop-up menu with editing commands |
| Viewports Window | Double-click on viewport name in Viewports window | Opens the Edit viewport dialog box |
Regardless of the method chosen, the goal is to precisely control the viewport's characteristics, ensuring optimal viewing and interaction with your active file.
