Walk/Fly Pop-Up When Panning or 3DOrbit

[Anonymous]

After using Autocad 2015 for a few weeks with no issues, I started to get the pop-up below asking to change to perspective view for walk and fly. It pops-up whenever I try to pan or use 3DOrbit. I've searched around online and have yet to find a solution that works for the problem. I have never used the Walk or Fly commands in Autocad so I don't know what could have changed. The issue started to happen after I imported a Solidworks (.x_t) model into Autocad. I've done this before several times without any issues.

Hi John,

Unfortunately selecting "Never" in the 'walkflysettings' does not suppress the pop-up for either panning or 3DOrbit.

Hi alexander.mathis,

Thanks for your quick response.  

In this case I believe that we need to verify that your user profile is not damaged.  Can you create a new local administrator account for your workstation, logon as that account and see if the issue persists?

You can also go to the Windows Control Panel>Programs and run a repair. IIf that does not work the next step is to try and Reset Settings to Default.

John,

I do not have the ability to create another account on my workstation. I tried repairing the program through the control panel and the issue still persisted. I then reset the settings to the defaults but the pop-up still appears for both commands.

Hi @Anonymous,

OK, make this tough 🙂

Let's try this then:

use 3dFORBIT and then rt click in the drawing space.

Select Free orbit, disable Orbit AutoTarget

Parallel

Visual Styles- 3D Wireframe or Wireframe

Visual Aids - UCS icon

Next in Options on the 3D Modeling tab, go to the Visual Style while creating 3D objects and select By Viewport

Under 3D Navigation>Walk and Fly Select Never.

If this still doesn't work, then exit the application, restart your computer. Then again try a repair.

Hi John,

I'm not quite sure what the magical combination was, but mixing all of these tips with a couple system restarts seemed to have fixed the problem. Thanks for the help

I have had this same issue several times in the past 2 months. I have gone to this forum to try and solve this issue with no luck.

So I am here to offer a suggestion when this particular occasion arises with this walk and fly pop-up when panning or 3d orbit.

If and when this occurs:

Step 1 - Exit out of command and close the program.

Step 2 - Open the project up again and open the drawing file you were working in.

Step 3 - Try to pan (If pop-up menu comes back, exit command and press cancel)

Step 4 - Press "Ctrl" and Press down on the middle Mouse Wheel Button and move the mouse around. (This initiates the Transparent Orbit Command)

These steps listed seemed to have reset the pan or orbit command.

Now, my workstation functions properly again.

Alas - none of these tips seem to work.

Anyone else explain why whenever I use free orbit, it leaps into walk / fly mode and perspective settings?

I've deleted my .aws file but no effect..

HELP!!!

I'm the last person to offer technical support...but I've stumbled onto the quick fix for this issue.

In the upper left corner of the drawing area where you see [-][Top][X-ray]

The [X-ray] is the visual style control. If you left click on [X-ray] the Visual Styles Control Pop-up menu will come on. Click on 2D Wireframe.

The problem will be fixed!

It happened to me while working inside a viewport.  I simply deleted the viewport, created a new one, and the problem was gone.

SELECT THE ENTIRE PROJECT. COPY AND PASTE A NEW DRAWING SHEET. DELETE YOUR OLD PROJECT. THE SETTINGS ON THE NEW PAGE WILL BE NORMAL. A MODIFIED SETTING IS VALID ONLY ON THE CURRENT PAGE. YOU GET RID OF THE PAGE AND YOU GET RID OF THE PROBLEM... ::). I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. SO I FIXED IT.

This happened on a coworker's computer. He was working in model space with two viewports (Two: Vertical layout, one plan view, one 3d view). After making the settings changes previously suggested and rebooting his computer, I asked him to:

1. Set the plan view viewport current. (The one that was working as expected.)
2. Set the viewport layout to single. [Click View tab > Viewports panel > Viewport Configurations > drop-down arrow > Single]
3. Set the viewport layout to the original layout (in our case: Two:Vertical).
4. Test the view settings in the new viewport.

This workflow resolved the issue for him.

Same here. I tried everything in this thread. 

The only thing that works is re-booting the computer. 

WHY CAN'T WE FIX THIS PROBLEM, AUTOCAD?!

I have just gaven up on the model I was working on due to this. I am either going to go insane trying every single fix I can find to make this go away just for it to appear again or leave drafting and become a shepherd in Ireland.

Thank you!

When the walk/Fly dialog window popped up I checked the box, but it also set my view to 3D perspective and my View Style to 3D view Style that needs to be 2D Wireframe. It is working well now!

Just press 7+NumLock, if it doesn't work, just press it again.
