    Default Viewport open for editing closes by itself

    I edit 2d drawings in model space through paper space viewports. I'll be working on the model through a viewport, and suddenly I'm not in model space anymore. The viewport has closed and I'm adding linework and dimensions in paper space. Once I discover this, of course, I have to erase the work in paper space open the viewport and do all that work again. I cannot figure out what is causing the open viewport to close. This is a new problem, occurring in the last month or two. Any ideas?

    How are you "opening" a viewport? That information may help others provide a possible solution.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    Please explain your workflow a little more. If you are using some custom routines/LISP/SCR/etc you may want to check the coding.

    If you are working near the edge of the VP, you may accidentally click outside of it and thus close it as well.

    Try to note, what was happening just prior to its closing and let us know as that may help us resolve the issue you are experiencing
