Viewports (most, not all) gone in page layouts!!!

Pretty bad when all your sheets are blank except for a few vp's and paper space. Of course model space is ok but have used layers to create level plans and so setting them up again will be more than just a pain for sure... any help?



Sure lots.... but bad thing i have been working in just this one viewport for a long time and so have to go back to find the one where the vps went awol...

Just hoped for a reason why... fix would be nice.

Have you looked at the MAXACTVP variable, there is a limit to the number of viewports you can have, from memry i think it used to be 11 by default.

Perhaps they're just turned OFF. Try turning them ON one at a time; if another one goes OFF when one comes ON, then you need to set MAXACTVP to a higher number. __

Unlock every layer turn on and unfreeze every layer. Just as a test and see if the vps come on. Then list the properties of the vps and see what layers they are on. Take note of the layers, hit undo a few times to get you back to where you were then look at those layers in layer manager.

So here fujka is once more, in the playground of the broken hearts ...

In other words: is your viewport layer on ?

What is your problem?

There is also other things that can be going on . There is sometimes strange relationships between the o layer and defpoints layer. and all other kinds of variables that could be happening. I was giving advice that might help him find clues.

What exactly are you doing?

Mine ? I don't have any problems. Not one that you can solve, that is.

Yes, you were. I tried to help him too. There was nothing wrong with your post, I just tried to help as well. As a matter of fact, I thought your post was very helpful, really.

Now ? Smoking a cigaret and typing a hopefully nice reply to your post.

Maybe I made things more complicated with posting my other reply, but that wasn't my intention. Sorry if it was.

HAND,
