Viewport Malfunction

[twarner3DKLA]

The original post is in the .NET forum since it is being done via code. But the problem seems like it might be a general AutoCAD problem so I'm reposting on this forum.

All of the details can be found on the other post. The AutoCAD problem is the viewports on the first Layout page of the attached DWG file DON'T work correctly (can't double click, can't see the model space) but the viewport on the second layout page DOES work....

On the original creation of the file, when right-clicking on the viewports on the first layout page, the "Display Viewport Objects" was "Yes". After closing & reopening the DWG file, the "Display Viewport Objects" is "No" & when I change it to yes, AutoCAD stops responding.

Greetings!

There is no viewport in the second layout: AutoCAD creates a new one, much like you can do in the first layout with MVIEW command, and they both work just fine

Is the actual problem "... my customized tool in REVIT does not export viewports in layouts correctly..." then?

You'll want to ask/be in the REVIT API Customization forum for assistance, while you wait here, AutoCAD seems to be working fine but it can't control REVIT (or your app's) export options (or results from that). Here is the link:

Hey @pendean, thanks for the reply. Right, I saw that the MVIEW command worked correctly.

Here is the original export from Revit, which has all of the viewports working properly. The error happens on the first layout page when I copy from one DWG file to the other.

I downloaded your S203 - Result.dwg and selected the 3 vports in Layout1 and turned them on.

Saved, closed & reopend the dwg

The same 3 vports in Layout1 stays on no problems.

See attached dwg

Thanks @paullimapa, that seemed to do the trick. I guess the classic "Did you try restarting it?" question comes in as the solution once again. I have updated the original post on the .NET Forum to show a command that does this.
