Can anyone advise?
Using autocad electrical 2011, trying to set view port.
Border is in paperspace
Drawing is in model space
When I set to model space, I see the view port box line, & the cursor appears over the drawing
All works fine
However unable to re position the black line above which the cursor is visible which i am assuming is a view port line
in view manager, no command to set the view port box, the black line around the drawing, is there a command missing
compared to acade2010?
I have tried creating a new layout view, but this name appears under the model view list and the size of view port box never changes
also tried VPCLIP in the command line- to no avail
everything works, except I have no control other size of view port box!
can ayone help?

Hi Steve
It sounds like you are actively "in" the viewport. If you try double-clicking outside the viewport boundary, you will no longer be actively within the viewport and you should be able to select it and resize it.
I hope this helps!!
Thanks
when I click outside the view port box, the border becomes active (paperspace) and view port box disappears then nothing to select.
on normal autocad 2008 its not a problem?
attached is an example, is the black box a view port? can this be resized?
should I have a command on acade 2011 to set view port under view manager? maybe the software has not installed fully?
Thanks
Steve
Hi Steve
Thank you for attaching the drawing! Looking at the drawing, it appears as though your view port has been placed on layer "99" which is currently turned off. If you turn this layer on and double-click outside of the view port to activate "paper space", you should be able to re-size the view port. Also note that a majority of the view port is "under" some lines of the title block, so it could be hard to see it. I have included a few screen captures to add some clarification around what I found and the actions I performed on the drawing you previously attached.!
I hope this helps!!
Thanks!!!!!!!!
I have spent hours/days frustated by this problem, such a relief
I have always assumed view port lines was indepedent of layer structure!
Thanks for the solution & clear explanation
