Locking viewport command by default

[EnricoD]

Hi everybody,

there is an option, maybe somewhere in general options, to say to the application to create already locked vieports by default everytime I create one. And lately unlocked them in case of necessity ?

Thank you in advance for any kind suggestion.

Have fun in your day.

Nothing built-in: you will need to customize with LISP (typed commands) or edit the code of the button you click on to create your viewport. Which do you use most often?

##- Hi Pendean, thank you for your reply. About your question I sholud like
to use the botton.
To edit the code could be interesting for me to learn more about LIST but I
think a VB editor it's needed. I'm using a company licence and I have no
permission to install a VB -##

Can I trouble you to post a screenshot of which button you are clicking on and in which AutoCADARCH profile you use most often?

Screenshots how to is explained here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13776/windows-use-snipping-tool-to-capture-screenshots

here the screenshot. Sorry AutoCAD Architecture is in German.

That's the wrong Ribbon Tab, there is no button there to click to create a viewport inside a layout.

This is he correct tab: are you sure you know how to create a layout viewport?

 

You might it simpler and easier to use a free LISP, explore this similar post https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/locking-all-viewports/td-p/5495246

Hi Pendean,

yes I know but my intention was just showing where I go to lock the view port at the moment.
Instead to handle with the layers settings I should like to have any new viewport created already locked by default (with the lock symbol blue), pratically the opposite situation of now.
Thank you again.

Cordially.

P.s. The links you links me it's very interesting anyway

For the benefit of others, viewports created by the Project Navigator by dragging a view onto a sheet (AutoCAD Architecture specific feature) are automatically scaled, layered, and locked.
