paper space problems

[johnhan76]

This question stumped the tech support guy today. I go to paperspace, click on my viewport box and the change the scale with the properties button. I then would like to shift the drawing around a little so it fits better. I am still in paperspace and I click the paper/model tab at the bottom. The image inside the viewport is reduced in size several times when I click the tab. I then have to repeat myself to get the scale back on again. does anyone have clue?

I do not know why the zoom changes, but you should be able to lock the viewport in the properties dialog.

After setting the viewport to the proper scale facter, LOCK it using MVIEW->LOCK

I tried locking the view and it works. However, I need the view unlocked until I get the proper positioning of the model in my viewport. When I click in the viewport it still reduces everything. I am starting to think that the file is corrupt.

Check UCSFOLLOW

PS, You can lock the viewport and still modify it's size and shape using grips.
