I have view ports in my templates (dwt files) How can I set them to be on when a new sheet is created. I've been having to go in and turn them on. Any ideas? Thanks.

How are you "creating new sheets"?
Design center or starting a new drawing from a template?

I just tested it.
If you have an active viewport in your DWT, it comes in active either by opening a new drawing using that DWT or dragging the named layout through design center.

But if you're just "copy_clip" and "pasting" the view port, you'll need to turn in on everytime.

the view port is in a DWT that the project navigator (ACA) uses to create new sheets. Turning them on is inconvenient.

Must be something wrong with ACA's project nav? Using DC in Vanilla ACad or using the import from Template (right-click menu on layout tab) brings the VP's in as turned on. Only the Copy-Clip turns them off.
