SPARKY77 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Viewport problem. I have set up the layout to A0 with the template, added the viewport with a scale of 1:5. Now when i enter the viewport to postion the drawing in the right place the viewport rescale to drawing, CAN anyone tell me how to stop this as it is slowly driving me mad?

ReMark Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Once you have established the scale of the viewport it should be locked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKY77 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 I know you lock the viewport but how do you position the drawing in the viewport then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Sorry...my confusion. I position it using the PAN command. I'm sure there are other ways of positioning it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKY77 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 I don't think I am making my self clear. I created a viewport which alermativally gave a scale of 0.151632. I wanted it to a scale of 1:5. Know the drawing needs to be moved with in the viewport, so i open the viewport so I can pan the drawing into the right position but as soon as i open the viewport the drawing reverts back to the scale of 0.151632. and does not stay at the scale of 1:5. I don't know why this happens with these drawings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 And you're sure it is locked? At the moment I'm stumped. Will have to find a suitable drawing and test it out. Maybe I can reproduce what you are experiencing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturne00 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 What did you mean "Open the Viewport"? did you maximize it?(the one with the red boarder on full screen). coz its not the way to place a scale and center a viewport. Click inside the viewport (not on the viewport boundary line), then PAN to center(as ReMark has stated). now, whilst inside the viewport, under the Viewports toolbar, set the preferred 1:5 scale.

I have done all that but this is the problem when I click in side the viewport it rescale the drawing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cad64 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Activate the viewport and then type UCSFOLLOW at the command line and change the setting to 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKY77 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Cad64 Thanks for that you have saved some of my sanity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsblades Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 could have also went into the vp pan to where you want it then "z" 1/5xp (or vice versa, zoom then pan) lock the window after you get out of it. but cad64 seemed to fix the problem.

GE13579 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Surely the easiest way to centre the viewport is to double ckick the viewport and choose the midpoint button and scale it from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I believe that option is only available in Mechanical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GE13579 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Ahhhh I see. It sounds familiar but I wasn't sure thanks CAD64! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
