Concentric resize of camera view in layout

[JKraft]

Chief community-

I'm wanting to send some camera views to layout.  They arrive full size and when resized to fit, I loose to much view.  Is there a way to concentrically resize the camera views before sending to layout or after they've arrived on the layout page?

Thanks!

If believe you can only resize if you save the camera view as a pic(jpg, png), then import into the layout and then you can resize it. I just tried a direct send to layout and on a camera view there is no option to scale.

At least 3 ways to do this:

1. Hold down the X key (resize edit mode) while dragging one of the corners
2. Group select the view by either marquis selecting, holding down Control, or holding down Shift; and then use the single edit handle to resize.
3. Use Transform/Replicate and resize that way.

1. Select the view
2. Hold Down the Alt Key
3. Grab the corner handle and drag.

Hey, whaddya know...4 ways.

 

You can also do the same thing by using the right mouse button...so I guess that's 5 ways.

Learn something everyday thanks. The X key worked perfectly, the alt key seemed a bit different, the pic resized but not always to the bounding box when increasing it.

To get it to resize while still retaining its aspect ratio using this method, you might need to draw a temporary line from one corner to the other and then snap to that line while resizing.

U guy's are awesome.  Where you born that way or did you develop it over time?

I was born that way but it took 76 years to realize it.
