DrawingView has zero width & height - need help VBA

Hi to Community.

I have a section view, but I don't. :slightly_smiling_face:

In an .idw document, in a sheet there is a base view and a sub section view of it. I call this (section view) sub view as drawing view in this post. 

Height and width values of drawing view object are 0 (zero). There is a crop for the drawing view. I didn't manually edit the sketch of the crop. It should have a for lines rectangle, but there is nothing inside the sketch of the crop. When I assign drawing view to a variable and add it to watch window I see that width & height values of the drawingview are zero, the sketch of the crop has four line entities and all lines are planer and  they form a regular rectangle which is nonzero height & width.

Please advise, suggest me something; what to check and what to do; by UI or by code. To delete the crop and then recreating it solves the problem but there ara some detail views and dimensions, notes, etc. related to the cropped :face_with_tongue: view. Thanks in advance.. Smiley Happy

P.S. There are some screen captures attached to the post.

Hi.

When I delete the crop "Section view of A-A" appears.

Sketch of the crop makes the drawing view zero width and height.

In UI there is no entity in the sketch of the crop.

In object properties displayed in IDE's watch window there are sketch entities (lines and constraints) that form the rectangle of the crop sketch and they are not zero length.

Section view A has manuel scale (not scaled from base)

Section view A is not full lenght - crossing cut of its origin.

Section view A is shaded and hidden line removed view. 

And it's my Heart view.

Thanks. Smiley Happy

Hi.

Thank you for giving time. It is no longer important. I just delete the crop, but couldn't find the reason. May be it was my mistake, or I missed something, or a bug. Let's not spend time any more. Thanks again. :slightly_smiling_face:
