    Default Symbol to show when a viewport is locked

    Summary: A symbol to quickly show when a viewport is locked; probably something similar to the symbol that shows when a layer is locked

    Description: I would like for viewports to have some simple method of showing the user at a glance if the viewport is locked or not.

    How Used: Users would not need to pick the viewport, right click and go to the "Display Locked" portion of the the tab just to know if the vport is locked or not.

    Feature Affinity: Other

    I like the idea but where would the symbol be displayed?

    How about on the cursor when it's hovered above the viewport?

    Similar to the globe icon when an object has a hyperlink?

    Over the vport boundary? That would work.

    Or similar to the lock icon on locked layers.
    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.
