Keep Losing Viewport Scale

I have a drawing where I adjust the scale in a viewport and I'm able to pan around and leave it without a problem. When I come back to the viewport, however, I lose the scale and it zooms way out on me. All I am doing is double-clicking inside of the viewport. Any ideas?

Right Click on the viewport boundary and select Lock (or something to that effect).

Double click is zoom all. Locking the viewport will avoid this.

But then I can't pan inside the viewport when it is locked. When I open it up by double clicking inside I lose my scale again.

Try setting UCSFOLLOW to 0

I think rkent's suggestion will work for this. Keep in mind though, locking viewports is good CADDing. That way you can work through the viewport and not have to worry about changing the view or the scale. If you need to change the view that is shown on paper, unlock the viewport, make the change, then lock it back up.

robnad - Set UCSFOLLOW to 0, lock the viewport, use maximize viewport when you need to work through the viewport and it doesn't show the area you want to work on. There is an icon in the lower right (or double click on the viewport object itself, the border of the viewport) to get back use the icon again.

The command line command is VPMAX, and VPMIN.
