VPMAX/VPMIN

GstarCAD 2027 → What's new

Layout viewport will be expanded to cover the whole screen and switch to Model space, which is convenient for users to edit the drawing in the viewport in the layout, and after editing, you can return to the previous state through the VPMIN command.

A new VPMAXIMIZEDSTATE (GstarCAD 2026) system variable (read-only variable) is used to indicate whether the viewport is maximized or not.

VPMAX

Expands the current layout viewport to fill the entire screen and switch to Model space for editing.

You can enter the viewport maximized state in the following 4 ways:

• Enter the VPMAX command in the Layout and click to select the viewport to be maximized; (when there is only one viewport in the layout, there is no need to select the viewport, it will be maximized directly)
• Execute the VPMAX command after selecting a viewport in the Layout;
• Double-click the viewport border in the layout;
• Click the Maximize viewport icon in the status bar in the layout .

The viewport enters the maximized state (inside the blue border line), as shown below:

VPMIN

Exits the viewport maximized state and returns to the current Layout.

You can exit the viewport maximized state in the following 3 ways:

• Enter the VPMIN command;
• Double-click on the blue border line;
• Click on the Minimize Viewport icon in the status bar in Layout .
