Paperspace switching to Modelspace!!

[Marnissim]

Hi All on this forum!

I have an issue on Autocad 2022 which is driving me nuts... I normally work in Modelspace mode on the Paperspace and edit the drawings in the active locked viewport within the Paperspace.

But when I zoom in and out, Autocad very often automatically switches to Paperspace without me knowing and I start drawing lines on the Paperspace. After realising that I'm on Paperspace, I have to the delete lines I've just drawn, change back to Modelspace and start again. It's wasting a lot of my time.

Is there any way I can stop this from happening?

Any suggestions most welcome....

Are you sure you're not clicking the PAPER/MODEL tab on the bottom?

 

I have never heard of any issues for AutoCAD, though IIRC, a mouse issue causes this.

 

You can see if a new mouse or looking through the settings for your mouse helps.

Odd jumping out of viewport normally only happens when you dbl click outside viewport. You could redfine the "Line" command so it does a "mspace" before invoking "LIne". Maybe use a lisp defun so always check you are in mspace. LLL maybe as shortcut name.

 

"I have to the delete lines I've just drawn," don't do that, use CHSPACE it will take the line work from paperspace and move it to model space.

As I thought, I found this... Solved: Re: zoom in floating model space switches to paper space - Autodesk Community

 

If you read the entire thread, you will see why this can happen.

Thanks for your replies and for the links to the two other threads - it looks like the issue may be caused by the mouse.

In my case, the jumping out of Modelspace into Paperspace happens on two different PC's so I wasn't sure if this was a hardware problem. It happens mainly when I zooming out and around really fast. But I am going to change my mouse on both computers to see if that resolves the problem.

CHSPACE is a useful command - Thanks!
