M29 Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 I have maybe 5 paper space tabs, two of which are dedicated to floor plan, and reflected ceiling plan respectively. I just noticed that when I change freeze layers in one (yes, just the layer in the viewport, the small snowflake icon), the layers in the viewport of the previous tab follow suit! This has never happened to me before - anyone familiar with this issue? Please help, thanks much! M29 Quote
Cad64 Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Which snowflake are you clicking? Are you clicking the one in the "Freeze" column or the one in the "VP Freeze" column? Quote
M29 Posted July 22, 2010 Author Posted July 22, 2010 VP Freeze, that's why I'm so confused.. This has never happened before, but could it have something to do with reloading my xrefs after saving them? Quote
M29 Posted July 22, 2010 Author Posted July 22, 2010 Yes, when I reload my xrefs that I go back into and save, then when the viewport refreshes it turns them back on. I am sure that autocad didn't use to do this - it is a setting I can change? Quote

If you are using the ._LayFrz command (check the command line), pay attention to the "Settings" option, and then subsequently the "Viewports" sub-option. In there, you can choose to use this command to freeze the layer overall, or just freeze in the viewport in which you are working. Yes, when I reload my xrefs that I go back into and save, then when the viewport refreshes it turns them back on. Make sure VISRETAIN = 1 Quote
M29 Posted July 22, 2010 Author Posted July 22, 2010 RK - I am just going opening the Layers Manager and choosing to freeze my viewport in there. I don't think I'm using the ._LayFrz command...? Quote

M29 Posted July 22, 2010 Author Posted July 22, 2010 Well but I AM using the small/vwpt snowflake. The issue is that when I reload my xrefs into the viewport after updating them, all of the layers go on, and it's a waste of time to have to turn them off every time I update. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks so much. Quote
Cad64 Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Did you check your VISRETAIN setting, as RKMcswain suggested? Quote
M29 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Posted July 23, 2010 I'm sorry, I don't know what VISRETAIN is, but I will try to type it into the command line! Quote
