AUTOCAD 2014 VIEWPORT CAN'T BE SEEN OR CREATED

[Anonymous]

I am new to Autocad.  My problem is that when I go to scale my drawing, I cannot see the boundary of my viewport to do so (by selecting it).  I tried to create a new viewport but when I go to Layout (tab)> Layout Viewports, everything is grayed out.  All my layers are on and thawed.  I used an existing drawing and modified it to get to this point.  I believe the drawing was from AUTOCAD 2000.  Please help!

Must have a reason why, is defpoints layer on along with layer 0? how about layer locked?

Attach your .dwg, let's see.

All layers on and unlocked.  See attached.

I see nothing wrong with this drawing.

Ok well maybe it is because I am new but how do I select my viewport to scale my drawing?  Because there are no boundaries for it (at least that I can see).

Layout1 and Layout2 have a visible viewport frame (on layer "sidewalk")
Layout 3 is empty.
What am I missing?
Thanks.

Your viewports are the rectangles found in the Layout 1 and Layout 2 tab: your drawing opened up in the model tab.

Perhaps you meant something else? You don't seem to know the basics otherwise: are you taking a class or using a good book to help you?
