Tankman Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Been years since last used AutoCAD. My work is simple and nowadays, just for my "fun." I'm using a model space and a paper space with a viewport. I do need to move and resize in my viewport the model space input. I don't change the viewport size in paper space. I don't want to delete, change or do anything to the drawing other than re-position or re-size in my paper space (Titleblock) view. I do edit titleblock text, not the model space drawing/text input. Can I lock my model space drawing in paper space other than close the viewport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Hello Tankman, welcome back, been quite a while, you used to be one of the regular crew of suspects! It sounds to me like you have the viewport at the size you want to use, but you need to (if it is Locked) Unlock it, and reset your scale factor in the viewport to the appropriate scale. Does that sound about right? There is no way, nor should I think, need to lock your modelspace. Once you have gotten the view that you want to display, positioned and scaled appropriately in your viewport, make sure you LOCK your viewport, then you should be good to go. Purely speculative on my part, feel free to disagree. Edited March 16, 2017 by Dadgad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankman Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Thanks Dadgad and ReMark! Retired but, needed something to play with while I'm looking out the window at white cold wet junque. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
