Saif,

 

Switch to Paperspace and then you can Scale your Viewport to fit your Paper.

Does it work when a brand new Layout and Viewport are created?

Your images show that the viewport is resizing. You will need to change the scale that it displays in order to get the model to fill the new size.

Saif,

 

Need a little more information on exactly what you're trying to do and where things are gumming up. Please post your drawing and elaborate a little on the problem.

 

To venture another guess at what might be the problem, if you can't select your Viewport to grip-edit it, then maybe you have "New VP Freeze" frozen for your Viewport Layer:

This is not likely a MapViewport. Go to your Layers palette, find the layer that the Viewport is on (hint, look for a layer that is froze, off, or frozen in the current viewport) and thaw it or turn it on.

Please post your drawing. We're running out of things to guess about.

Is it possible the viewport is on defpoints and layer zero is frozen?
