Vports

[bot1357]

Hi there,

I have a small problem. I have a viewport inserted in paperspace of a ship. I have zoomed into the viewport in paperspace then selected the viewport. However I cannot now get out of the viewport to zoom extents of paperspace drawing.

There must be a command to de-select the viewport?

Hope this makes sense of not I apologise.

Can't really understand what is your question. Seem like you have switched into model space within the viewport. If that the case, just check the status bar (the most bottom bar of the AutoCAD window). It will read "model" if you are in model space of a viewport or "paper" if you are in paper space. Just click it to toggle between model or paper space.

One thin to also remember is to lock the view ports.
If the VP is locked all the zooming / panning is the done as a paperspace zoom/pan, This prevents the scale of the viewport from changing.

Viewports can be locked several ways, the easiest is to select the viewport and in properties change the Display Locked to yes,

Agreed. I added VL and VF to lock and thaw all viewports to my arsenal of command line commands.

Also press CTRL-R to toggle from viewport to another viewport.
