AutoCAD - Small viewport that can´t be selected or deleted

[sara.bagger]

Hi all,

I made a smaller viewport within a larger one using Region and Subtract, whick works fine as far as I can tell.

The problem is that there is yet another tiny viewport whick doesn´t show until I preview and plot the drawing, even after thawing and turning all layers on.

I can´t select it and  hence not delete it, which is what I want to do since it shows as an ugly blur in the middle of the drawing.

Thankful for any help.

Hi,

We need to see the file viewports, Would you please attache here the CAD dwg itself for testing?

[sara.bagger]

Here is the drawing and screenshots of the plot before and after detaching xrefs. The blur is smaller after detaching the xrefs but it is still there. The reason I created the viewports this way is because the customer doesn´t allow any objects in paperspace.

Thank you in advance!

Forgot to mention, the drawing is created with Civil 3D. I posted in AutoCAD forum since it didn´t seem like a C3D issue, I hope the file doesn´t require C3D

In a plot(PDF or Paper) too? After REGENALL too?

That answered my question, sorry.

>>"Here is the drawing and screenshots of the plot before and after detaching xrefs."

Sorry, I see 3 viewports, and there is nothing at the area you showing in the screenshots.

Share the original DWG with the Xref-file.

[sara.bagger]

It´s invisible until you preview and plot with plot settings in attached jpg (DWG to PDF.pc3). I can´t share the xref file because it might be sensitive information.

I can see it now, SORRY! I will answer again after some minutes.

Thanks for your CAD attachment..

Click on below image and see how weird it behaves!! I think that you need to make a new layout instead of that one.

The issue is the border VP. The "reflection" disappeared when this was recreated.

The is a problem what I would call 'corrupt data'

Did you played with Regions to clip Viewport with them?

To solve your problem delete an region what is flaged as clipping object the the outer viewport(the one for the frame).

in layout

QSELECT REGION ALL

or

SSX Entity REGION ALL

or Filter

and so on

Thank you for you help! I was hoping i wouldn´t have to delete the regions but I guess I have to after all.

Sounds you digged your own problem !?

Regions with an area of 0.0 and flaged as clip-object for a viewport doesn't sound senseful = Trash/corrupt data.

And, whatever you tried, it doesn

If you like, please explain more about what you did and more about this region object.

PS: " The reason I created the viewports this way is because the customer doesn´t allow any objects in paperspace."

Apart from the viewports (which are also objects), there is also a MText , incl. the other clipping polyling - 7 Objects in paperspace.
