    Default Redefine Viewports in MS, then automatically update corresponding Viewports in PS

    Is there a quick way to update a layout tab after changing viewport boundaries?

    I wish to redefine viewport boundaries in model space and have the corresponding
    layout tab automatically update. Is this possible?

    Currently I am deleting an reinserting the viewports that have changed.

    Sounds a daft question but why are you deleting them instead of just adjusting them to suit the new layout?

    Try using this, a colleague set it up.
    You need to make sure that the VP in model space (or rectangle) is created in a particular way so that the vertex one is becomes the bottom left when viewed from PS & that the others run anticlockwise.

    Not quite sure what the routine you supplied is doing.
    It asks me to select a pline?

    I have modified the vieport boundaries and wish the layout to reflect
    the boundary update.

    If you have a rectangle (the pline above) in model space that is a reflection of the viewport that you which to show, first on PS go into the viewport, run the routine (command VPZ I think) then select the rec, enter the scale that you desire & it will zoom & rotate based on that rectangle & scale.
