MantaBase Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 If this is better in the beginners area, my apologies. Begin: Typically, when I open a new drawing, I make a new layout (Arch E size). That layout typically has a viewport in it that I can resize. I paste in my dynamic title block. Answer some questions. Resize the viewport to fit the title block. Etc... Now, I have a drawing that I have been working on for sometime. I need to make an Arch D layout. For some reason, whenever I create a new layout, the viewport is on the layout and I can not modify (resize it). Nor can I paste in my block. Ideas? I checked a new file just to be sure, and it works like I expected (I can resize the view port and past in a block on the paper layout. I'm stumped. What am I missing? (FYI - my background is GIS, so if I used any wrong terms, please forgive). Manta Quote

Manta Dear Manta, You might try making sure that the layer you have active when you create a new layout is actually on. lol - That did the trick. Manta Quote
Strix Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 glad that's all cleared up I was going to ask if your viewport was locked :wink: Quote
