Does anybody know how to fix this?! I've googled the #%*$ out of my query and haven't gotten an answer.
All i want to do is MANUALLY resize the different view windows within model space.
I have dual monitors. I want one monitor to show my plan view. I want my other monitor to be split horizontally with the cross sections in the top and the profile on the bottom.

I have kind of what i want, but all i want to do is grab the god damn vertical split and drag it to it splits the screen in two. i can't do it!!! i'm losing my mind!!!

see below. all iwant to do is grab that vertical green line about 1/3rd from the right of my screen and drag it to where my red paint arrow/line indicates. HELP ME!!!

Can't drag them, as you're just limited to what you can do through the View -> Viewports options.

If you start with a 50/50 split vertical, then split the right side into three horizontals, then join those top 2, that should get you pretty close to what you want.

if you want them to be the odd sizes like you have, do a 2 viewport command, make them vertical, then make the one on the right 3 horizontal and join the two on the top...

Know what i mean? haha

Yeah I usually do as well, but currently I like knowing where I am in plan in relation to my sections and profiles.
I have one computer for drafting with two monitors...then my laptop open with excel / itunes / email / notporn.

ha, just realized one monitor is 22", the other is 23"...that would explain the screwed up 'half' split i am experiencing..

fail :nut:
