khoshravan Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 equilateral-square.dwg In layout 1 of the attached file, I did something wrong. I copied the borderline and bottom annotation from another file using ctrl+C, Ctrl+v method. After that ucs icons are doubled. I deleted the viewport and made another one by mv command, however the problem still is there. How can I solve this issue. Is something wrong with copying the annotation from another file?

Organic Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 1. Lock you viewport... That is an interesting question. I always have my UCS icon turned off although in the limited extent I have used it I haven't see two there like you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 You have two viewports. One on Layer0 (white) and another Layer6 (magenta). I suspect that's unintentional and you don't want/need two, but if you do, then turn off the UCSICON for one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you mentioned, I figured out and deleted the unwanted viewport. Now is there any command to give the name of viewports in a layout to find out these sort of problems? After this experience, I will check about this issue, but it is rather hard thing to do as there might be a very small viewport, made unintentionally.

nestly Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I'm not really sure if there's a way to list viewports. I know you can use CTRL+R to toggle between them, but if they're basically right on top of each other as they were in your drawing, I'm not sure you'd notice the toggle. QSELECT > Viewport will tell you if there is more than one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QSELECT > Viewport will tell you if there is more than one. Qselect was a good way to find, except that I was suspecting to see more than one viewport. Finally I find out that, my drawing sits on the layer 6 and my annotation with border line is in layer0. I thought this is a good habit to draw my drawings in model space and put annotation and borderlines in paperspace. It seam that I have to have a viewport in paperspace to be able to put annotation in it? Is it correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The annotation and border will reside in paperspace. Use a layer other than 0 to place your annotation and border, create an ANNO layer, etc. for that.
