Viewport - Add Vertex

[fcernst]

Please add the capability to add vertices to existing rectangular viewports. This will help greatly during production efforts.

[Bert_Douma]

If you have an existing rectangular viewport, you can redifine the contour of your viewport with the command 'vpclip'.

This command gives you the opportunity to define an new viewport contour, and later on, you can add and remove vertices like polylines.

If you don't have any viewport at all, you can also define the viewport by clicking an closed polyline or draw an polygonal viewport.

yes Douma, it's possible what you stated, but that's an extrra effort!

I customized this with a lisp, you would not need this every time, if adding extra vertexes would be enabled also for simple rectangular viewports.

(defun c:vxport (/ clay lay echo plw);; Viewport draw + clip + send to back
(command ".undo" "begin")
(setq
lay "VIEWPORT LAYER"
echo (getvar 'cmdecho)
clay (getvar 'clayer)
plw (getvar 'plinewid)
)
(cond ((= 1 (getvar 'tilemode)) (alert "Not on layout!"))
(t (
(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(cond ((= 1 (getvar 'cvport)) ())
(t (command "pspace"))
)
(cond ((tblsearch "LAYER" lay) (command "-layer" "t" lay "on" lay "s" lay "") (command "vplayer" "th" lay "" ""))
(t(command "-layer" "n" lay "c" "255" lay "p" "n" lay "s" lay ""))) ;;layer properties for the viewport layer
(setvar "cmdecho" 1)
(setvar "plinewid" 0)
(command "pline" (while (not (zerop (getvar "cmdactive")))
(command pause)))
(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(command "pedit" "l" "c" "")
(command "vpclip" pause "l")
(command "draworder" "l" "" "b")
(setvar "clayer" clay)
(setvar "plinewid" plw)
(setvar "cmdecho" echo)
)))
(command "undo" "end")

if you create you viewport using the Object option you can edit it and add or delete vertices, if you just pick 2 random points you cannot, basically the feature is already there? I will draw my viewport as a polyline and select it as Object when i create the viewport.
