JBullseye74 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 OK heres the crack - We have a drawing from someone else which when you copy over a viewport there is no contents indicated. If you HIGHLIGHT THE VIEWPORT and RIGHT CLICK and DISPLAY VIEWPORT OBJECTS it then works. Now in our drawings when you copy over a viewport the contents is shown immediately - this is just annoying and ideas? Tried "MAXACTVP" variable and its already at max 64. There aren't that many viewports in the drawing either so we haven't exceeded the maxmium. Cheers. Autocad 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 My pasted viewports always need to be turned on. I asked about this in another forum and it seems that is just the way it is. Pasted viewports need to be turned on. I would like it, if you figure out how to have them on when pasting, that you could post back with the solution.

JBullseye74 Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Thanks for your comment Rob. What i am saying is that my viewports are ok in my drawings and when i copy them i don't have to activate them they are already indicating the contents. A drawing we have in from a different company this doesn't happen as also yours seem not to. How can this be? There must be a system variable you can change.

RobDraw Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 When I use AutoCAD's copy command and copy a viewport within a file, it is always on. When I paste a viewport, I always have to turn it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
