MVSETUP on a Named Layout in Paper Space
On a named layout, in paper space, you can insert a predefined title block into the
drawing and create a set of layout viewports within the title block area.
You can specify a global scale as the ratio between the scale of the title block in
the layout and what you have created in model space.
To easily specify all layout page settings and prepare your drawing for plotting,
you can also use the Page Setup Manager.
When the TILEMODE system variable is off, or when you enter y or press Enter at the Enable Paper Space prompt, the following prompts are displayed.
Align
Pans the view in a viewport so that it aligns with a base point in another viewport.
The current viewport is the viewport that the other point moves to.
- Angled
-
Pans the view in a viewport in a specified direction.
The next two prompts specify the distance and angle from the base point to the second
point. - Horizontal
-
Pans the view in one viewport until it aligns horizontally with a base point in another
viewport. This option should be used only if the two viewports are oriented horizontally.
Otherwise, the view might be panned outside the limits of the viewport. - Vertical alignment
-
Pans the view in one viewport until it aligns vertically with a base point in another
viewport. This option should be used only if the two viewports are oriented vertically.
Otherwise, the view might be panned outside the limits of the viewport. - Rotate view
-
Rotates the view in a viewport about a base point.

Create
Creates viewports.
Delete objects
Deletes existing layout viewports.
Create viewports
Displays options for creating layout viewports.
- Layout number to load
-
Controls creation of layout viewports.
Entering 0 or pressing Enter creates no layout viewports.
Entering 1 creates a single layout viewport whose size is determined by the following prompts.
Entering 2 creates four layout viewports by dividing a specified area into quadrants. You are
prompted for the area to be divided and the distance between the viewports.The viewing angle for each quadrant is set as shown in the table.

Entering 3 defines a matrix of layout viewports along the X and Y axes. Specifying points at the next two prompts defines the rectangular area that
contains the layout viewports. If you have inserted a title block, the Specify First
Corner prompt also includes an option for selecting a default area.If you enter more than one viewport in each direction, prompts are displayed for entering
distances between the layout viewports in the X and Y directions.The array of viewports is inserted into the defined area.

Scale viewports
Adjusts the zoom scale factor of the objects displayed in the layout viewports. The
zoom scale factor is a ratio between the scale of the border in paper space and the
scale of the drawing objects displayed in the viewports.
- Interactively
-
Selects one layout viewport at a time and displays the following prompts for each:
For example, for an engineering drawing at a scale of 1:4, or quarter scale, enter
1 for paper space units and 4 for model space units. - Uniform
-
Sets the same scale factor for all layout viewports.
Options
Sets the MVSETUP preferences before you change your drawing.
- Layer
-
Specifies a layer on which to insert the title block.
- Limits
-
Specifies whether to reset the grid limits to the drawing extents after a title block
has been inserted. - Units
-
Specifies whether the sizes and point locations are translated to inch or millimeter
paper units. - Xref
-
Specifies whether the title block is inserted or externally referenced.
Title block
Prepares paper space, orients the drawing by setting the origin, and creates a drawing
border and a title block.
Delete objects
Deletes objects from paper space.
Origin
Relocates the origin point for this layout.
Undo
Reverses operations performed in the current MVSETUP session.
Insert
Displays title block options.
- Title block to load
-
Inserts a border and a title block. Entering 0 or pressing Enter inserts no border. Entering 1 through 13 creates a standard border of the appropriate size. The list includes ANSI and DIN/ISO
standard sheets. - Add
-
Adds title block options to the list. Selecting this option prompts you to enter the
title block description to be displayed in the list and the name of a drawing to insert.A line similar to the following example is added after the last entry in the mvsetup.dfs default file:
A/E (24 x 18in),arch-b.dwg,(1.12 0.99 0.00),(18.63 17.02 0.00),in
The last field of the line specifies whether the title block has been created in inches
or in millimeters. The units field allows title blocks created in either unit system
to be changed by setting the unit type using the Options option.You can also add title blocks that have variable attributes.
- Delete
