xelaris Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 The Layout is made of 6 viewports...all of them on the same VPORTS layer - I froze the VPORTS layer and the border of all viewports disappear (as expected) except for a viewport which happen to be the only one rotated .... Any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Might the one VP that's not hiding also be Clipped? Is the VP active? Post a sample drawing if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xelaris Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Might the one VP that's not hiding also be Clipped?Is the VP active? Post a sample drawing if possible. The vport in question is a poligon with different angles....right now I can't access the drawing (nor post an image) - I wish I could have spotted this basic difference earlier and adopt a simpler shape e.g. a rectangle and see if the problem persist (still, I don't think there should be any issue regardless of any shape adopted - not ideal really).

nestly Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 The reason I asked is because if it's clipped and the object used to clip it was not on your VPorts layer when it was clipped, then the VPorts layer isn't the layer that controls the VP border display.

That sounds like a very likely hypothesis, and good deduction nestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xelaris Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 The problem is sorted somehow (not exactly understood) as I have deleted the offending vport and created a new one: a basic rectangular vport which behave as expected. I'd like to know what was causing the issue....I can only add that there was no clipping involved - it was a rectangular vport which I've edited via grips into a more irregular shape....then of course there might have been other factors (beyond my knowledge).

nestly Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Unlike a standard rectangular viewport, Irregular shaped Viewports, and Clipped viewports consist of two objects, the Viewport, and the object used to define/modify the viewport. Both entities must be on the same layer, otherwise both layers have to be OFF/Frozen in order to hide the VP border. I asked previously, but the offer still stands.... upload the drawing if you want/need a diagnosis of the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 xelaris, if I were you, I would take nestly up on his offer. No doubt you will be glad you did, and better understand the issue, as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
