AM 2018 - View changes to perspective automatically

Anonymous — Thu, 04 Jan 2018 14:31:27 GMT

When I was panning or orbiting around a model I got the message. Warning: Walk or Fly only available in perspective view mode.

I checked the box that reads: Always switch to perspective mode. Now I get switched to perspective view every time I pan. I can get it to change back to paralell view.

I think I have tried everything:

- PERSPECTIVE = 0

- Rigt click the "hOME" button and check "paralell" and then "Set current view as home"

- Clicked on "Custom view" in the left corner of the view and checked off paralell

- Copied the whole model to a new "clean" drawing

Nothing works, it always jumps back to perspective view when I start panning.

I have searched the forums and I see that people have been having these issued since 2009. I'm getting kinda desperate, because I can't find any answers. I am about to throw my computer out of the window!

Does anybody have a good solution?

Best regards, Christian Grimestad

OPTIONS command
SYSTEM tab
HIDDEN MESSAGES SETTINGS button
Check the boxes for messages you want to see again.

Did you ever get this resolved? I have students who are havingthe same problem and I can't find the solution anywhere.

Which command (and option) you are talking about

_.PAN and _.3DORBIT ?

Is it an issue too, if you start the command by commandline or menu (instead by middle mouse button)

Which AutoCAD Productversion in detail is installed?

Command: ABOUT

will show the AutoCAD Productversion

And: Bizzar or not, try to to turn off the message and to turn it on again.

Still an issue?

I'm talking about using Orbit or Free Orbit using on the Navigation Bar.

Most of the students are using AutoCAD2013. Some are using 24. Most are using it on University computers.

Well, I don't know if it works or not. It doesn't do it on my computer and I won't be in the lab again until Monday.

My fingers are crossed.
