...lock a viewport if...

[hotrodz0321]

How do i lock a viewport (make it unable to pan/zoom within the actual viewport) if the actual viewport is an object (circle)? I can lock other viewports using the property manager and just selecting "yes" under the lock viewport selection. But its a drawing created previously by another person and i cant lock the viewport...it just doesnt give me the option under the property manager like it does for typical viewports......any ideas?

When you select the boundary of that viewport you select two objects: the viewport itself and the polyline used to create the boundarie. On the top of the properties window it says something like "two objects selected". Click that text and you will have the possibility to choose what do you wish to have displayed. Choose the viewport and you will be able to access the Screen Locked propertie.

I've got a custom button to freeze a viewport

 

^C^C-vports;lock;on;\;

 

ideal to freeze a viewport quickly.
