    Default Zoom extents automatically when you activate a viewport

    Hi,

    I have a template that when I create a Viewport and activate it, it automatically zoom extents every time! I realise I can lock the viewport but would like to find out if there is a system variable or something else that controls this behaviour.

    I have used the express tools to export the system variables to a file and compared them to another drawing that does not do this, but still couldn't find anything! Any help greatly appreciated.

    Cheers.

    Thanks thats sorted it.

    I had a feeling it was something to do with UCSFOLLOW, but did not realise you can have different values for each viewport!

    Cheers,

    Also look into UCSVP.

    Ah ha,

    That explains another question I was asked today, my customer could not get the viewport to remember a specific UCS.

    Thanks for your help.

    Cheers.
