Frozen Model Space in Viewport

cliffordjohnturner — Thu, 21 Mar 2024 14:18:33 GMT

Just this morning, I find that when I switch to Model Space in a viewport, everything is frozen.

But if I Tilemode to "1" and am in Model Space, everything is free.

If I go back to Paper Space, everything is still frozen in that viewport.

I checked to see if some layer is locked, but, no that's not it.

The viewport is itself is not locked.

I restarted AutoCAD, but that didn't help.

Any ideas out there ?

A Layout viewport has the option to OVERRIDE layer settings from modelspace: is that perhaps what you are facing?
Or is the viewport looking at the wrong spot in modelspace?

Share your DWG file here if you are unsure about either.

I never know about the overide, but when I pause over the viewport border, some info is displayed.

At the bottom of that list is "Layer property override No"

What does that mean ?

Copy and paste these lines into your command line, then type in VPT
All your layers in the viewport will THAW

(defun c:vpt nil
(setvar 'cmdecho 0)
(command "_.VPLAYER" "_Thaw" "*" "_All" "")
(setvar 'cmdecho 1)
(princ)
)

Everything is not frozen when I enter model space in your viewport.

Can you send a screenshot of what you see when you enter model space inside the viewport?

Recommend using Windows Snipping Tool to just select the area of the screen instead of capturing the entire window

Thanks for the screenshot.

It looks like you are in paper space in that screenshot. You said that your linework is frozen whenever you enter model space in your viewport. As you can see from my screenshot from model space, I don't encounter that issue. So if you could double-click inside your viewport and send a screenshot of what you see (and don't see) in model space, that would be helpful.

I think I know what you mean

I assume you are selecting the Vport and double clicking on it which activates the VPMax command

Then the Vport fills the screen and nothing shows up like this:

Now if you use the ZOOM EXTENTS

Now you'll see the objects in Model Space:

Use the ZOOM Window command to view the area desired.

Use the VPMin command to go back to the original Layout view

Now the reason why this happens because you actually have 2 Vports with 1 on top of the other.

The one on top is the one that actually is looking at an empty area of Model space.

See I just moved the blank Vport onto the right side:

So now when you double click the Vport on the left you'll see objects

But when you double click the Vport on the right you won't see any thing.

verify that the layers within viewports are set to visible. Sometime the individual layer in viewports are set to off frozen, which cause the object on these layer appears frozen.
