mview problem: can you shed light?

i created a polygonal mview (its a circle actually). it works fine.

but when i put the mview on my vport layer then freeze the layer to hide the vport, a square viewport shows and is no longer the circle i created. should i just turn off the layer instead of freezing it? just not sure why the circle would turn into a square after freezing the layer.

When you type PS at the command line, does the square 'disappear' ?

How did you make polygonal mview?

I did first create polygonal(circle) then "mv" enter "o" enter and select to circle.

Then i could do well vplayer editing.

i did just as you did, papagyi. not sure what you mean by vplayer, never heard of it. as far as my concern about the vport, ill just have to turn off the layer instead of freezing it. its just weird that this would happen.

When you create a polygonal viewport, AutoCAD creates another object. In your case the circle. Do NOT freeze the layer the circle is on. Turn the layer off or set the layer property to no-plot.
