    Default maximize viewport

    Stumbled across this by accident. Instead of clicking on the maximize viewport button to maximize the viewport, while in paperspace place cursor over the viewport outline and double click. Voila viewport is maximized.

    Default Re: maximize viewport

    Here are all the methods that I know of for MAXIMIZING and MINIMIZING Viewports

    MAXIMIZING

    - Place cursor within Viewport boundary (ie. Double-click inside viewport area, or enter the command MSpace), and click the Maximizing Viewport button on the Status Bar.

    - Place cursor within Viewport boundary (ie. Double-click inside viewport area, or enter the command MSpace), right-click, and select “Maximize Viewport”.

    - Click once on the Viewport boundary, right-click, and select “Maximize Viewport”

    - Enter the command VPMAX, and select the Viewport boundary.

    - Simply Double-click on the Viewport boundary itself (probably the easiest method)


    MINIMIZING

    - While in VP Max mode, click the Minimizing Viewport button on the Status Bar (probably the easiest method).

    - While in VP Max mode, double-click on the red dashed borderline.

    - While in VP Max mode, right-click and select “Minimize Viewport”

    - While in VP Max mode, enter the command VPMIN.

    Yeah, I stumbled on that one, too, and I keep stumbling. I draft 100 miles per hour and get sucked into model space while moving my viewports around. Do you know how to turn that feature off?

    Set SPACESWITCH = 0. (undocumented command in A2010).
