Viewport automatically Regen's and Zoom's when made active

[randyspear]

I am presently working on a drawing which keeps regenerating all viewports as soon as i make one active as well as completing a zoom all with them. This is making it impossible to complete my drawing because i can't set a viewport's scale when there is more than one viewport in the layout tab. None of my other drawings are doing this which leads me to believe that it is the client's template that i am using causing this.

please help soon, as i am under the gun here.

run appload and see what custom routines and whatnot have been run in your drawing, perhaps they have something set up to do that automatically?

Good luck.

Hi

Check out the system variable UCSFOLLOW (hint set it to 0), it's ViewPort specific therefore needs to be set per Floating ViewPort and ModelSpace.

Before doing the above you might find it's a good idea to "Lock" all your Floating ViewPorts (will stop Zoom Extents occurring when entering a Floating ViewPort).

Might also want to read up on system variable UCSVP.
