Exxit, I stand corrected...the post I read about this before instructed me to type this command in paper space. However, it appears that this needs to be done in each window in model space. Everything works...thanks!!
While in paper space, I create a view port (using mview command). I go into the view port and scale it using 1/96xp. I then create a second view port and try to scale this view, both view ports are automatically scalled back to full extents.
How can I fix this without locking the viewport...is...
