Hello everyone,

I have problem, I am working in Autocad 2000. I am in PS trying to manipulate layers or using mvsetup command inside the active viewport. Once, i get in the viewport, it jumps back into zoom extents and changes my UCS back to world. It seems like i can't manipulate my viewports. It's very frustating. how can i make it stop jumping into zoom extents?

Thanks
Juice

If I am following what you are saying, you may want to lock the viewport before you change into modelspace through paperspace.
 
Hi Juice,

this is one of my most hated Autodeskbugs…

First You can to use the command “zoom previous”, after that You follow borgunits tip (I have lock/unlock buttons)

Sometimes the SV “ucsfollow” on 0 would help.

It’s better to lock the viewports generally, so You can draw and freeze layers etc…

Just to add to EXIT's note.
UCSFOLLOW must be set from PAPER SPACE.
I believe you can set this is model space but this would only affect model space, not paper space.

Later guy.
