Anyone know why I am not able to "Activate View" while in a certain sheet view? All others work fine except one sheet view. It's strange.

Any thoughts?

Can you at least select the viewport? If not, make sure your viewport isn't hidden. Select the light bulb to reveal hidden elements if you think it is.

That was exactly it! Can't believe I overlooked that.

Thanks Andre. I appreciate the quick reponse.

BDR_Architect, another thing to be aware of is that users may have overlaid more than one view on the sheet (adding a drafting view of annotations to a 3D view, or doing an overlay for overhead elements, for example). You can toggle through the views with the Tab key to select the appropriate one to activate.
