Named Viewports

Edit or use named viewports in the drawing.

This function allows you to add, edit and delete named viewports. The first nine views in the viewport list are assigned zoom hot-keys from 1-9.

Once a viewport has been removed, it is permanently deleted from the drawing structure. You cannot Undo the function. Instead, you need to redefine it.
