    Vports: Modelspace Disappearing

    Hello,

     

    I'm having a little problem with the modelspace in a vport disappearing on me. 

     

    I am trying to do some B.O.M. work, and sometimes I can't snap to a particular point/object, so I turn osnap off and zoom in to identify the correct object. After a certain point in the zoom the drawing regens and then the modelspace disappears completely. 

     

    I tried a regenall, closing the drawing and starting it up again, but it's still not there. I checked the properties and it still says it's a vport. When I double click it to enter modelspace from the vport it doesn't take me into modelspace.

     

    I've checked my maxactvp, that's maxed out at 64. I've run an audit and that didn't work.

     

    Wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem and if you have a solution.

    What is your graphics card and driver?

    Latest Driver Try another driver, you can always rollback.

     

    Is it just this one drawing? I had similar problems when on XP, but mine would be resolved by closing the drawing and reopening, though only temporarily. This particular problem went away after new computer, card and Win 7.

    Hello,

     

    I've updated my driver and we'll see if that works.

     

    Sadly it's happening when I do that with most drawings.

    I also just noticed there is an option in the properties box in the misc section. It's an 'on' or 'off' toggle... and my vports were set to off :s

     

    I switched it to on and the vport is back to normal...

    question back to you for your clarification: not sure if we have the same problem that you indicate your remedied. When in paperspace, when zooming, my viewport content disappears depending on position of zoom. Sometimes regen helps, mostly not. You indicate go to <properties> box, <misc> and turn ,<on>. Question, which properties box from what command?

     

    thanks.
