SteveB Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I've been e-mailed a plan which I have subsequently amended however when I come to scale It says "viewport is viewlocked switching back to model space" I can't unlock it to move and scale it in the usual way:cry: I'm using Autocad 2000. I would really appreciate any help as I've been trying allsorts for 3 days!! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 So you have selected the viewport and then right-clicked and tried (unsuccessfully) to disable the display locked option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveB Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yes exactly thats the frustrating thing ReMark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GE13579 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Can you post the drawing at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 The only other place I know of that you can turn off view-locking is in the Properties window. But from what you are saying I expect that to indicate that the view is locked and I doubt you'll be able to change the setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Smith Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Could there be a second, larger, viewport that you aren't seeing? If I get impatient when I create a new drawing using a template with the viewport already in the titleblock and try to start work before it is done, AutoCAD occasionally creates a viewport 5-10 times larger than the paperspace I am using. If I don't realize it, things can get rather confusing. I doubt this will be any different, but try using a macro: ^C^C_-VPORTS;_LOCK;OFF Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ammobake Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I think you can also select the viewport, right click, and turn off the lock that way. But the viewport has to be showing so you can select it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
