    Hi all,
    I have one smaller viewport on top of another larger viewport in paper
    space. Objects belong to the larger viewport are still visable inside the
    smaller viewport. Is there any way to hide them?

    TIA,

    No, viewports are transparent. If you're using the full version of AutoCAD
    (not LT), you can have non-rectangular viewports... would that help?

    Create 2 Regions from 2 rectangles (or any polgonal shapes), one inside the other, then Subtract the smaller rectangle from the larger one.

    Then create Viewport > Object and select the region.

    You can also create one viewport that contains several separate shapes, since unioned regions do not have to touch.

    interesting - had never thought of that.
    what a neat trick

    the other, then Subtract the smaller rectangle from the larger one.

    You could use an irregularly shaped viewport for the larger viewport by
    using the polygonal viewport option.

    Or you could create several aligned viewports if you are using an older
    version of AutoCad.

    Another way might be to use WIPEOUT to hide the area underneath the small
    viewport.

    Also you could "Clip" the Larger viewport around the Smaller viewport to give the required "Blank" area!!!

    I find in AutoCAD there's at least 10 different ways to do everything in AutoCAD and ever now and then in these discussion groups you find another one!!!
