CadDan Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 I'm in paper space and I double click in the view port, yet I can't zoom in/out or even pan. Any help with this is greatly appreciated as I have to have this project done by today. Quote
CadDan Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 How would I unlock it in AutoCAD 07? I used AutoCAD 2008 yesterday at a friends house and I locked the vp. I just can't seem to unlock it. Quote
chulse Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 I don't remember. In 2010 (and 09) there was a lock button on the status bar (bottom of the screen) Quote
CadDan Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 There's even one in 08, but apparently not in 07. Thanks anyways chulse. Quote
chelsea1307 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 i think you can unlock it in the properties Quote
CadDan Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 i think you can unlock it in the properties can't seem to find anything about vp in properties. Quote
chulse Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Ahh, I remember - its "Display Locked" in Properties... Set it to "No" Quote
CadDan Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 Sorry for being troublesome, but I can't find "display locked" in the properties. Quote
chelsea1307 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 when you click on the border of the vp and type ch you dont get the option in the red circle? Quote
chulse Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 when you select the VP - it should show up... Oops... too slow... Quote
CadDan Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 Thanks chelsea. I had to play around a bit to get to that but I finally got it. Quote
CadDan Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 when you select the VP - it should show up... Oops... too slow... ha. It's alright. Your help, helped me get to it as well. Quote
Dock67 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 This is more-so for any other wandering travelers looking for a solution on this. Without detecting it, I kept switching from paper-space to model space on an additional viewport. So basically, just make sure you don't have an additional viewport along with the others. Checking to see if the viewport is locked would obviously be the first thing I would check as noted by others - but if for whatever reason, double check and make sure there is only one viewport you are altering. In my case, the viewport that I wanted to change was on the top so i just selected them all, held down shift, and deselected the top item and deleted whatever was remaining. This was driving me up the wall because i couldn't figure out why it wasn't doing anything to the viewport I had added. (Or, better yet, delete any existing viewports before adding a new one) I had to add one with a specific rotation which is why I simply didn't use the one that was existing from a template. Quote
BIGAL Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 12 years later wow for me move viewport 0,0 500,0 so can see overlapping can then do multiple moves of viewports with different x distance and delete unwanted then move back. Quote
