Cannot resize a viewpoint

[edgley]

Now that I have been able to move things around in my view point, I notice that the VP appears to be bigger than the boarder. I have tried clicking on the corners to get the resize handles to appear, but they wont.

 

Have also tried the stretch command, and making sure that pickfirst is set to 1.

 

I have got a screenie of it, as it appears on the bottom part the boarder isn't showing either.

 

Hope I have explained this well enough, as I am not sure.

 

Thanks,

Simon.

The viewport frame is on a layer that is frozen or turned off, thaw or turn on that layer. If you aren't sure of the layer then thaw and turn on all layers and list the viewport, go from there.

I had to thaw the layers to be able to resize the image inside the viewpoint, using mv>lock>off>all return x2, so not sure if that is the problem. I will try your steps.

One the problems is I cannot see how to tell what is frozen in the inspectors; its sure changed a lot since I last used it!

Just found how to do it.

I had to select the layer called, in my document, viewpoint_crop.

Then I got the blue squares in the corner and now can resize.

The Layer Properties Manager (._layer command) is where you would go to graphically 'see' which layers are frozen/thawed, on/off, etc.

 

Once you know the layers well from memory, I think you'll find it faster to simply use the command line version, the ._-layer command (note the preceding hyphen "-").

Thats where I thought I would be able to see the state of the layer, but these old dumb eyes cannt tell yet; will be doing some manual reading over the w/e me thinks.
