Auto zoom extents when select ortographic view

[ercegs]

Hi. Is it possible to turn off this stupid option?

I have 3d model, and 3 views in MODEL space. When I create a plate in 3D, I choose 3 viewports. After that acad gives me 3 isometric views (because isometric is curent). Then I select one of the views and choose to be TOP view, but when I do that cad immediately do ZOOM Extents, and when I choose third viewport to be front he does the same, and then you have TOP view above FRONT which are not correlated because of that stupid zoom extents option.

Is it possible to keep curent zoom when you select one of the ortograpic views?

I need that to be in MODEL tab and not in layout...Maybe I don't know how to use those variables that you have stated, but I think they are useful only in layout tab. I tried to do that in model tab but I can't, and my viewports are in model tab. I also can't find option to lock viewport in model tab. When I type -vport in layout tab option to lock a viewport is available, but not in model tab. But still, before I lock viewport I have to set up view. When I choose top, left, right....acad automatically do zoom extents. So, I have to prevent cad to do zoom extents when I choose one of the views. And I don't know if it is possible at all.

ercegs,

pardon, you wrote MODEL... UCSFOLLOW -> 0 is working in modelspace, too. You have to set this sv for each view.

Which ACAD-version are you running?

No problem. I'm using Acad 2007. I'll try to describe you my steps.

When I run my acad, I choose view -> swiso. Then I pick BOX and start point at 0,0,0 and height, width and thickness are random. Then you should have a box in your screen. The I choose options like this (I'm doing that from command line, because it has to be like that because I'm creating a lisp file for this).

-vports -> 3 -> right

When you do that you should have your screen divided into 3 rectangles: oone on the right, and one above the other on the left side. Each of them shows you Sw ISO view. Now... If you select any of them and type ucsfollow, you'll see that it is 0. If it's not you can set it up but nothing is going to be changed.

Then, I select viewport which is above on the left side. I want that view to be TOP view of SW isometric view which is on the right. And when you pres icon TOP acad makes it to be top, but also do zoom extents. And when you select bottom viewport to be FRONT view, acad does the same and again zoom extents. And you know then, if your length and width of the box are not the same, then you have top view above the front, but width isn't the same because of the zoom extents operations.

Best regards
