AutoCAD for Mac

[#1]

Anyone else having problems making a layout with more than three viewports? If I make a fourth, it is always blank, so I juggle things in Model Space in order to put details where I want them. This has been going on since the beginning with Acad LT 2012 for Mac. Hoped the last update would fix it, but maybe no one else has that problem?

Machine has plenty of RAM (16) and handles everything else fine. Files are not tremendously large or complicated.

Thanks

Hi,

It is strange, because I can use more than three viewports. Look at screen-shot, there are 6 viewports (magenta color):

Maybe something wrong with layers settings (VPfreeze) in your drawings?

Could you post one of your problem drawings here?

Hmm. It does seem to work on the computer I'm using now, but the one I use in another office never works. When I'm back there, I'll post you a screenshot. It lets me make another viewport, but once I get above three, the new ones are blank. I've tried REGEN and restarting, purge, audit, etc. Funny thing is the other computer is the newer one with more RAM. I've only got 8 on this one, and the viewports work fine.

There are a lot of layout tabs (maybe 20,) so I thought it was just reaching the limit of capacity.

Thanks for your help, as always. Nice details, too. That's exactly the type of thing I need all the viewports for! I've been rearranging things in Model Space instead, which is a bit of a pain.

MAXACTVP variable

Aha. That's it.

Thanks a million!

Thanks for help, Dean.

Just want to add that MAXACTVP saved in drawing file and thus doesn't affect AutoCAD generally.
