yup i agree susi, sucks big time. i suppose were lumbered with the old retangular one. surly ther must be a way to use the command line to create it, im relativly new to this autocad stuff, as i only did enough on it to generate line drawings to import into 3Dmax for 3D work so dont know to much about the internals of it but thers nearly always a workaround,someone somewher will know how to make that command line work, i doubt my new employers will want to buy the full blown version tho. lol.

Hi Ramin,
there must be a reason for LT being LT and that is one of them – you can’t produce polygonal viewports and therefore no circular ones either. Really annoying.

hi all, im using AutoCAD LT 2004 and tried to create a circular viewport, looks like the option for creating the object to viewport toolbar isnt even in the menus that i could see, maby this version is to old but i failed to find it.

And unfortunately it isn’t. That’s the one thing I am really unhappy about LT. Apart from that there is not too much difference between a full and a light version. LT doesn’t work with images of course but that’s it as far as I learned using it.
Thanks anyway :-)

@Susi – Unfortunately I do not have a copy of LT. The only way I could see LT being able to do this is if it were able to create a polygonal viewport.

I already knew about that and always found it very useful but now I am working with a LT version of AutoCAD 2008 and it drives me mad not to be able to create viewports as I like…
I suppose there is no creative way around that?
