How to Organize the Viewports in Your 3D and 2D Drawings with ARES Commander

In this video, we will show you how to organize your work environment with multiple and dynamic views of the same drawing under different angles and zoom factors: the viewports.

1
00:00:08,820 –> 00:00:14,600
In ARES Commander Edition 2014 you can organize your work space

2
00:00:15,140 –> 00:00:20,820
with multiple views of your model, from different angles, to get a global vision of your work.

3
00:00:20,820 –> 00:00:26,000
For this purpose you use the View tab.

4
00:00:26,340 –> 00:00:31,660
And from the Viewport menu, choose how to divide model space.

5
00:00:31,900 –> 00:00:34,460
I can choose to see only one viewport,

6
00:00:34,940 –> 00:00:37,300
or vary between the options offered here.

7
00:00:37,760 –> 00:00:42,699
This allows us, in a very simple way, to divide the screen into several views.

8
00:00:43,120 –> 00:00:46,940
If I click here, I can change the point of view.

9
00:00:48,240 –> 00:00:49,780
I can choose TOP,

10
00:00:51,900 –> 00:00:56,19
and here, select FRONT.

11
00:00:57,600 –> 00:01:01,860
I can return to a single view by clicking on the first option,

12
00:01:02,160 –> 00:01:04,500
or choose from the other options

13
00:01:05,900 –> 00:01:09,620
all available using the View Tiles Manager,

14
00:01:12,100 –> 00:01:16,140
to divide the screen into four views-like in this example

15
00:01:17,680 –> 00:01:19,800
by selecting this configuration.

16
00:01:20,000 –> 00:01:23,440
If we click on this viewport, we can activate it,

17
00:01:23,680 –> 00:01:26,240
and zoom or pan with the mouse wheel,

18
00:01:27,469 –> 00:01:34,469
and of course easily switch to another viewport by clicking in it.

19
00:01:34,720 –> 00:01:38,20
I can also change the display modes from here.

20
00:01:38,280 –> 00:01:40,520
Then, from the command line,

21
00:01:40,920 –> 00:01:43,640
you can read the options and choose one

22
00:01:43,860 –> 00:01:48,100
to configure each viewport,  according to our needs in the project.

23
00:01:48,300 –> 00:01:56,960
Let me emphasize, the ability to divide model space, into multiple views is convenient for working in 3D –

24
00:01:57,240 –> 00:01:59,280
but also useful in 2D.

25
00:01:59,520 –> 00:02:05,979
For example, If we are in a TOP view, we could display the entire drawing in this view

26
00:02:07,720 –> 00:02:11,980
while in this other view, we could also select TOP.

27
00:02:12,620 –> 00:02:18,700
But with a specific zoom that allows us to see in detail a specific area of the drawing.

28
00:02:18,840 –> 00:02:22,780
So, when we draw in this view we can be more precise

29
00:02:23,80 –> 00:02:27,520
and simultaneously see the modification in the other views,

30
00:02:27,800 –> 00:02:31,440
like, in this example, the main window.
