Question

Hi,I'm working on an existing drawing in acad2004the dwg consists off a "model tab"and lots more 'tabs'No when I edit the drawing, all 'tabs' shange acordingly.This is great.When I place some parts of the dwg to the other end.One 'tab' appears empty. This is quite normal, becouse I displaced itscontent. Now I need to get the content back into this 'tab'.I understand I've got to 'zoom' my way back. But when I use the zoomcommand all it does is zooming the layout, and not the dwg on thelayout. I'm lost pls helpbtw. zooming works on one of the ' tab's ' . this tab does not displaya ucs. all  the others do.When I get this right I need to create a new 'tab', but then I getback to this group.tregarrds,michael

Aha..... found it!putting on my stupid cap... I typed 'mspace' on the command line andwhoops!... the dwg zoomed. Typing 'pspace' zoom's the layout again.

Double clicking inside the viewport also changes it to mspace, double clicking outside it changes it back .

bit quicker than typing.

Also make sure you don't put a viewport entirely within another one. Could explain why, but might be better for you to try and see what happens. :)

Why?It's OK to put a viewport entirely within another one,Just "ctrl R" toggles -switches between all viewports on the layout,You could also use the icon on the very bottom of a Acad window toggle (paper / model)especially when your display is entirelly in a P. Space and you can notclick outside of a viewport!!It is good idea to have Viewport toolbar open to control the scale of eachVP.You could create any VP shape, - "convert shape" to VP. - on same toolbarHave FunRoman
