Resize Viewports

The help section says that the model space view ports can be resized by dragging with the mouse. I can't seem to get this to work. Suggestions?

Hi laughingcreek,

Many thanks for your post. The viewport borders should highlight as you hover the mouse cursor over them: when highlighted, clicking & dragging them should let you resize the viewports. Dragging the centerpoint should also let you resize all four viewports while keeping them aligned. Here's a quick video showing how it should be working:

Are you seeing something different to this on your machine? If so, let us know and we'll look into it.

Thanks,

Jake

Well, I opened up fusion this morning and, lo and behold, resizing of the view ports was working. I had been working on a model for a while when it didn't work before, could that have been related?

Also, what is right clicking the divider suppose to do? It moves it over, but I don't understand what that function is for. While playing around I noticed some odd behaviour, see screen cast. This can at least be dealt with by resetting the view ports.

Hi laughingcreek,

Thanks for the reply. Does sound like something went wrong there - we'll try to reproduce the issue here. As a matter of fact, during the past few weeks our development team have done quite a bit of work to fix bugs & improve the usability of multiple viewports. You'll get those fixes in the next major update of Fusion 360, and I'm hopeful that this might fix niggling issues such as this.

The right-click behaviour is definitely unexpected! Right-clicking a divider isn't intended to perform any function. I've passed this on to the team and I think they've identified the problem; hopefully we'll get that fixed in the next update too.

Many thanks again for reporting these; if you hit any another issues do let us know.

Jake

Resizing the viewport doesn't seem to be working for me. (Windows 10, Fusion 360 version 2.0.4233)

Clicking and dragging on the separator produces no visible effect.

This appears to be working now in version 2.0.4262.

Great!

The link is broken, and post is from 2015. I joined in 2017.

This is ongoing issue. Now and then, after update, viewports are not working.
I use two monitors, 27" each.
Would be nice if AD makes multiple windows, like many programs does, so O can have 3D in my right monitor and two sideviews in the right one. As monitors are nowadays long, it would be useful to split right screen verticaly.

After last update from yesterday, viewports lines are frozen, and I can't turn multiple viewports back to single one. I work in one, others are not responding.

Running the September 2021 release on a mac with Mojave and I still can't resize the viewports.

The only time I can resize them is when the app first launches. Once a design is open, the resize borders no longer highlight.

I'm running version 2.0.17954 arm64 (native) on my M1 Mac. I was not able to resize the multiple views viewport panes when trying the feature for the first time this morning (how did I never try this...). I toggled multi-view on and off to no avail. After restarting Fusion, the problem is fixed. Not sure if that was the cause, but it may be worth trying.

Maybe there's something that's initialized the first time you toggle the multi-view viewport feature that doesn't allow resizing? I cannot reproduce the issue again, so I can't deep-dive any further.

Note: I know I'm replying to a thread from 2015, but hopefully this helps someone.
