views on a sheet......

[ntnik]

i have 3 views on a sheet....... i scroll the cursor over them and get the highlighted box like i would expect....with the exception of one of the views......i still have the view but on the sheet i can not grab it or activate it, to delete it or anything else......i can ditch the sheet and just put together another ...... i was just wondering what may cause this one view to turn "dead" on me

If you hover over it and hit Tab, you still can't select it?

Is there a linked dwg that is causing the boundary to be huge, and you're just zoomed in too close to see it? I've had something like that.

When you open that view for the first time, is your model geometry very small in the middle of the screen? Or does it become very small if you zoom extents? If so, then the box around the view is probably just really huge when you place it on the sheet.

I had a similar problem the other week that really stumped me for a while

A user had actually selected the viewportand right clicked and done 'hide in view'
By clicking on the ligh bulb I could then unhide it and select it as normal

try that

patrics i did go back and check....crop region was small and tidy around the drawing......it was the light bulb in the sheet view that worked.....someone (scapegoating tone of voice)....must have unintentionaly hiden it by element in the sheet view.....works now.....thanks guys
