Strange ViewPort Linkage

We've a 2002 drawing we received. And it has a strange behaviour in which I've never seen (and thus, don't know how to fix/correct).

In Paper space, it has three (3) viewports of the Model space building floor plan. The plans are spaced apart in Paperspace. When you double click in any one of the viewports (like Mspace)... then ALL THREE viewports zoom to Extents!!!

If you lock a viewport then Mspace... the lock viewports dont' change state. Only non-locked VPs. I've never seen this in all my years of CAD.

Anyone know where you turn this on/off?

Thanks!

Bruce

Set UCSFOLLOW to 0 in the misbehaving viewports.

Enjoy, Stef

Is it just because I've heard of it, or does this problem seem to be cropping up a lot lately?

UCSFOLLOW wasn't a "by viewport" option before AutoCAD 2000. It was either on or off for the entire drawing; the change was just another of those mysterious and useless "enhancements" dreamt up by Autodesk. ___
