Changing Viewport 1

[CRG]

I have a problem with one specific drawing where I have created a right viewport; however, if I doubleclick in the port to enter model space, the viewport automatically changes to a top view. If the viewport is locked, no change to the view. This problem only exhibits itself in one drawing so it must be some setting that is drawing specific. Any thoughts about what I need to change?

Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

I believe it is the UCSFOLLOW variable, which is set in each viewport. I think you can also prevent it by locking the viewport.

UCSFOLLOW variable did not remedy the problem, but thank you for the suggestion. Locking the viewport is not an option that will be helpful. The problem is with autocad and locking the viewport does stop the automatic change; however, that will not take care of the problem. I am using a 3rd party program that automates viewport generation; however, just as it completes the generation, the viewport changed back to the top view. Same thing happens when I place a viewport in paperspace. I have tried other files and acad works properly on them, it is only this one project file that does not behave properly.

CarlB, something odd is going on here. When I closed the drawing and reopened it, the viewport problem was resolved. Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction.

You may have tiled viewports in model space and when you opened a floating viewport in layout, the current tiled viewport in model space will be the one that you see in layout/paper space.
