Viewport dialog box not appearing

[richard3009]

When I call for the Viewport dialog box it fails to appear any Ideas

[Dadgad]

Try FILEDIA set to '1'.

[richard3009]

no that is set to 1 its only the viewport dialog box that doesnt appear the rest display normally

[Dadgad]

Do you have viewport controls in the upper left corner of your viewports? If so, have you tried accessing it from there? Or from the VIEWPORT toolbar?

[richard3009]

no nothing to control viewport

[Dadgad]

Sorry I have never used LT, might it be turned off? If it even exists in your software?

[MSasu]

How do you call the VPORTS command? If you are using a button, please check to don't have it as "-VPORTS" (command line version).

[richard3009]

i dont have that 3d tab in options

[Dadgad]

Your EXPERT setting at '0'.

[Dadgad]

Right, why would you, forgot no 3D in LT!

[MSasu]

i dont have that 3d tab in options

This is because you are using LT.

[Dadgad]

It has wandered off your screen. You will need to drag it back into your real estate. Nestly posted a good way to find an awol layers toolbar, or something like that. Sorry I don't recall the specifics, believe it started in the CUI. Do you have workspaces on LT? Try it from another workspace or PROFILE in OPTIONS.

[richard3009]

expert is set to

[richard3009]

yes not sure how to create a new workspace though

[Dadgad]

There are probably more than one already in your software, just enter WORKSPACE at you commandline, and if you get the option try changing the variable by adding one to it.

[Dadgad]

Type this at your commandline ' _-vports '.

 

Be sure to use the UNDERLINE before the hyphen too.

[richard3009]

no its got me beat this one

[richard3009]

if i right click in the grey area where the dialog boxes are docked, I can tick and untick viewport but the dialog box does not appera anywhere, all other dialog boxes respond as normal

[Dadgad]

Have you tried closing ALL of the other ones? It may be hiding behind one of them. Is your workspace LOCKED? Try unlocking it and moving a few things around.

 

I located Nestly's video dealing with a lost layer manager dialog box http://www.screencast.com/t/AeMkyBOy5be, perhaps this will help you.

And here is the link to that other thread too. http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?67439-Layer-palette-gone!!!&highlight=nestly
