AutoCAD 2022 - Selecting viewports properties

mcweb — Thu, 03 Nov 2022 10:53:32 GMT

This only happens with clipped (polygonal) viewports.

When I click to select the viewport and want to view or edit using the properties box, it shows that I have a polygon selected, and I have no viewport properties available. When I use a drag box to select the same viewport, it works properly and I can view and edit properties.

This has recently started happening on all of my drawings. I was wondering if this is a setting, or a problem in the files.

Windows 10

Autocad 2022.1.2

Thanks!

The Polyline (or cicle, or region..) is the Viewport clip-object (because a viewport object is always rectangle,

it is only possible to "VPCLIP" it.

Q: Check the SELECTIONCYCLING feature, is it ON on one machine and OFF on the other one?

Thanks! @cadffm

SELECTIONCYCLING was set to 1. I set it to 0 and it works as before.

I never knew that clipped viewports were 2 objects!
