chee_dee Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 This happens to me quite often and I know ther's a easy way out. Just dont know how. I zoom into a viewport so the border of the viewport cant be seen nor selected nomore, then I double click selecting to zoom the viewport ofcause. Now how do I deselect it without undoing?
LCE Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 In the bottom right corner of AutoCAD, click on the upside down triangle. Check that there is a tick next to Paper/Model. If there is not, then select it. Now at the bottom of your screen, where ORTHO, OSNAP, etc is there will be a button which will say PAPER or MODEL depending on if you are in paperspace or modelspace/viewport. If you are in a viewport and it says model, then just click it and it will change to paper and take you out of the viewport. Let me know if you are unsure about this and I will post a screenshot. Alternatively, type PSPACE at the command line. 1
chee_dee Posted July 7, 2008 Author Posted July 7, 2008 that doesnt help, cos wen I go back to that paperspace tab, it's still selected IN that viewport. I wana stay on that tab but get out of the viewport
LCE Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 OK. I am not sure what you did then because that should work fine. But if you tried both solutions and isn't working then alternatively, in the bottom of the screen there is a little square with a partial red outline, if you hover over it it will say MAXIMIZE VIEWPORT. Click this and your screen will change with a red outline, and so will the image on the button. Click the button again and you will be in paperspace.
scubadoo Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 can you double click on the border of the viewport that you are in?
skipsophrenic Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 do you need to zoom in so the viewport boudary can't be seen, and have you tried "locking" your viewport befor you zoom in?
GE13579 Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 You should just be able to double click outside the viewport... and double click inside it to go back to MS.
kipper Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 You should just be able to double click outside the viewport... and double click inside it to go back to MS. That is the point though, the original poster said they have zoomed into the viewport and can't see the edges. The same thing drives my crazy too!!
kipper Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 As RobDraw mentioned, the solution is to type 'PS' and then zoom out.
chomuth Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 ms enter goes into model space ps enter goes into paper space shift r rotates through the different viewports if you double click on the edge of a viewport it goes into modelspace at the location of the viewport you were in if you click on a viewport then right click Display Locked select yes then you just locked the viewport from changing scale and panning I think I said the same as others but all in one message Chuck H
aduarte16 Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 or you can type "PS" I was looking thru to find a solution, this worked. Quick keys are the best, thanks!
The Nickster Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 ALWAYS lock your viewports at the appropriate scale, then you can work inside of them while in the paperspace tab. Locking your viewport enables you to zoom in and out freely and will not effect the scale of the viewport itself.
Chilidawg Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 1 more for the fire: "Lock that viewport!!"
ayethzerothree Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 hey guys maybe it will help!!! why dont you try to type in command line the vpmax if you want to go in your model space then type in command line the vpmin if you want to go out.
Mariami137 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Press ZE (zoom extents), then you can do anything of the mentioned above (like locking viewport etc.). You should probably be in Paperspace while zooming. "Undo" was my regular solution for this problem, until my computer once made a sudden restart, and when I got back to file, I were already inside the viewport with no hope for undoing )
jetxcc Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 If you are zoomed in too far to be able to double click outside of the viewport. you can lock it at whatever scale you are currently in, and then you can zoom out into paperspace and try again to reset your vp scale. Personally, i will do a ZOOM TO OBJECT, (Z enter, O enter) and window the objects that i want in that vp, then adjust the scale to appropriate size, LOCK THE VP!!! then resize, move, or annotate the vp as necessary. HTH!!
