    Default Viewport scale display disappeared.

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hello,

    idiot question probably but I used to have a little window at the bottom left that showed me the viewport scale when i click on the the viewport in paperspace.

    A colleague has been using my machine and it has now disappeared and i can't remember how to get it back. I use it because i have clipped viewports that when i go to their properties it doesn't display the vport scale in the same way as an unclipped vport.

    and another question, how do i set my own preferences so that my colleague can't ****** it up!

    Thanks
    Dave
