"Viewport is view-locked. Switching to Paper space."

[ordengate]

For some reason all drawings I create in ABS 2007 have an issue zooming or panning in and out of locked viewports. Any drawings my co-workers make do not have this problem. I've had to resort to using vpmax in order to get around this, but most MvParts and Devices/wiring don't like vpmax as the otracking gets buggy. Is there any way to fix this problem?

We are running ADT2007. Whenever I create a new VP the default is to lock the display. While in paperspace click then rclick on the vp box and in the menu look for Display Locked and switch it over to No. Then you will be able to zoom and pan thru window.
I hope this helps.

The whole point is to keep it locked so that you don't lose your scale and viewport placement. Unless there's a second setting I'm missing somewhere, in which case, could you please elaborate?

[jbayne]

Yes that is the purpose of keeping the display locked but there are times when it is necessary to pan or zoom (if you zoom be sure you are zooming to a scale factor) then when you are done go back and re-lock the display so that it will not change by mistake.

Thomas,

Could please elaborate more on the "issue zooming or panning in and out of locked viewports" that your are experiencing.

[ordengate]

It spams the message in the title and freezes the drawing for ~30 seconds until I can pan/zoom again, at which point if I've panned or zoomed more than 1 'click' of the wheel, it will freeze for another ~30 seconds until all of the 'clicks' are through. Drawings my co-workers make do not have this issue. They use Defpoints, I use a layer called 'Viewport'.

Hey Ordengate, a while back you had this issue and posted it. Did you ever find a solution and if so, what was it? What did you do to make the issue go away? I have Civil 3D 2010 and I'm having the same issue. I need help. Thanks
