VIEWPORT SYSTEM VARIABLE

[Anonymous]

I have a drawing supplied to me with six viewports but can only ever see five of them at any one time. I guess there must be a system variable that I can change to allow me to see all. Can anybody help please.

Many thanks.

Hi,

there is a sysvar MAXACTVP (>>>details<<<), this is by default 64, if it is set to another value then you are the first I know who changed that 😉

Thanks Alfred, Now you have made me a little nervous about changing it. Does the default mean 64 viewports? If so why should I have a problem with only six.

The default is 64, yes. If you look to sysvar MAXACTVP and it is set to 6 then someone changed it for this drawing.

No need to get nervous, just set it to 64, run command _REGENALL and all should be safe 😉

Yes the variable had been changed to <6> in all drawings for this project supplied to me. Sorry only just getting back to this project. Thanks for your help.

If you have many Viewports, each one delays the regeneration time.

Thus, in the past, when I might have 20 Viewports, I'd set the MAXACVP to a lower number just to speed things up. Computers are much faster now and I haven't needed to limit the active number for years now.

I forgot how I set the ones I wanted to see.
