rkent Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I am using AutoCAD 2010.Recently there are commands that I have used in the past but now are not able to attain through mouse clicking. I used to be able to right click on a viewport and a dialogue box would come up which had a feature allowing me to unlock that particular viewport. Now all I get is a standard dialogue box with copy,cut and paste,etc. I tried to go to the help section and find a command I could type in for unlocking the viewports and was not successful in finding that info! I need this info today (June 18, 2012)! Also, I used to be able to click on an object and it would "list" its attributes without typing in the command "list". Another is I used to be able to double click text to edit...now I have to go to the text editor icon. Thank you! For the text and object question I would go with PICKFIRST not set to 1. (Already mentioned above.) For the viewport locking, you are selecting it first with a left mouse click, and then a right mouse click I hope. Otherwise you may have an object over the top of the viewport, this happens especially if the viewport is not a standard rectangle. You can always use MVIEW command, Lock, On, All (or select one at a time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Viewport locking is also a toggle on the Status Bar, just to the left of the Scale list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
