Thanks for the reply, after switching the "UCSFOLLOW" variale to 1. I find that i still have to enter the viewport for it to automatically zoom extents. Im curious if im missing something?
It doesn't do a Zoom Extents but does VPMAX help?

"VPMAX" dose not help, all I use the layout tab for is ploting, and automatic title block updates. I was just wondering if there was a way that I could have the viewport automatically show everything that I draw in my model space. As of rite now, I have to go to layout tab activate the viewport and zoom extents in every drawing in my project, befor I can plot the project.
Someone move your MODEL content (or even XREFs) and now all your drawings are messed up most likely. Nothing in AutoCAD fixes that sadly except as you are doing.
Drawing a new viewport does what you want by default if you want another option: MVIEW command.
Pendean, sorry that I couldnt reply. I had to much work to do to focus on this issue, I gave the UCSFOLLOW another try today, and got it to work. thank you for the advice! As long as I leave the Viewport active, it zooms to anything that I have drawn in Model space.
the acaddoc file can achieve the result you are looking for.
1. copy the information below into a text file and name the file: acaddoc.lsp.
2. move the file to your desired location.
3. go to OPTION; "Files" (TAB) then select "Support File Search Path"
4. select Browse to the right of the Options window and navigate to the location the accaddoc is stored.
each time you open a drawing the drawing will zoom extent
(command "tilemode" "0")
(command "_pspace")
(command "zoom" "E")
.
