Locked Viewport scaling

[rafaljt]

Hi,

This is my first post here, I always tried my best and did anything alone. But this thing drives me crazy and i cant find the solution.

In my drawing layout nr. 2 has blocked viewports. The button on bottom right is dark grey and doesn't work. And standard "Zoom nXP" command doesn't help either.
First layout works well with scale. But I cant change plotter to HP HP7685 as our teacher wants us to. Gives some communicate with rastric drawing. 
I attach my file below. 

Please help me, this thing is killing me:)

Hi,

Layout2 has not any locked viewport, if you select the viewports do you really see them as locked?

No, ofc not. It would be too simple. But try to scale it anyway. Scaling doesnt work

this viewport button is somehow locked, dont know why

Hi,

you are aware that these viewports are all set to perspective? Perspective views can't have a "scale" ... is that what you are looking for?

Hi,

For perspective views you can't define a plot scale, is not possible at all (look to the screenshot, you see one dimension has different sized depending on position (front/back) of a geometry).

I'm not sure what you mean by "continue pls", wasn't that the answer why setting a scale does not work?

I mean how to change it to normal scaled view so i can scale it as i should. I'm sorry for asking newbie questions.

Hi,

Ok, you can use the viewcube-icon (looking like a small house in the upper-left corner of the viewcube ==> right-click and select "Parallel".

You can also use the command _VIEW, in that dialog change the property "Perspective" to OFF.
