Batch or quick edit repetitive Viewports? Advanced Viewport commands

I am setting up drawing sheets that have highly repetitive Viewports - generally 12 to a sheet and multiple sheets. Context: Comparing House Types, so 4 x elevations arranged side-by-side in model space with the variations stacked below.

 

So I am creating sheets each with 12 Viewports which are all the same size and scale. All I need is for each row of Viewports to be shifted "down" a certain amount in Model Space to show the next object. However, I am having to do so manually by entering each Viewport and panning down, ensuring it aligns with the object in the Viewport above etc.

 

Is there a quicker way of doing this? Even being able to lock Viewport Panning to polar angles would be helpful.

Hi,

Axis lock: You can use command: -PAN

this way you can use coordinates/distance to shift the view.

 

Your other goal is not possible by native LT,

but in LT2024 by programming

To polar angles ? Yes. Hold SHIFT while you PAN, as easy as that if you don't want to use -PAN 😉

I mean that i copy a VP and enter in the new then press SHIFT before "panning" with the mouse.

 

MVSETUP can be a useful but maybe it doesn't work under LT...
