You Can Use a Camera to Create a Viewport with Vectorworks 2011

One of the new features in Vectorworks 2011 is the ability to use the camera to create a viewport. If you use this technique, you do not need to create a crop object, and you can edit the camera settings after the viewport is made, if you need to change anything. 

Place a camera on the design layer. Remember, the camera becomes part of the viewport (like any crop object).

Use the camera to create a viewport, and place it on a sheet layer.

If the camera view is not the way you want it, you can change it.

Update the viewport to see the finished results of the changes.
