AutoCAD 2010 :: Mview Lock On / Off Not Working The Same
Mar 12, 2012
For years, I've been scaling viewports in my Layout tabs with this process:
1. MVIEW to make viewport.
2. Switch to MODEL, Zoom, Scale, 1/## XP
3. Switch back to PAPER, MVIEW, Lock, ON.
4. Copy Layout tab
5. In new Layout tab, MVIEW, Lock, OFF.
6. Switch to MODEL
to Pan to the area for Sheet # 2, Zoom, Scale the viewport for that sheet.
In 2012, when I MVIEW, Lock, OFF - it doesn't seem to turn off the Lock on the Viewport. I can't unlock a viewport to re-center / scale it.
And regarding viewport locking/unlocking issues

I am looking for a fix to the issue when scaling a view in MView from Paperspace all the dimensions in paper space move to outside the dinamic area of the border?

I dont know if this an Autocad Lt 2012 or windows 7 function, but a lot of times when I'm typing in Autocad (using Dtext), the caps lock seems to switch itself on and off, which of course is extremely annoying.
How do I set Autocad or Windows 7 not to do this.

I have a dual monitor setup and I maximize acad2011 on monitor 2 and have my toolbars on monitor 1.
I like to have my toolbars floating, but justified to the side with the 'gap' between the montiors so the tool bars fly out and I can see my email or reference docs or whatever on monitor 1 also. Sadly every time I close and re-open acad my toolbars re-justify to the center of monitor 1. I've tried unlocking and locking but that doesn't work. I am using the 'better', errr, excuse me, 'classic' workspace.

My workstation had a major reset and my customization (retrofit) making my group lock key-combo [Ctrl+Shift+A] as it had been some time in the past is lost. It has been so long since I meddled with setting hotkeys that I cannot remember where that is done. I either need to know how to toggle the group lock in the "out of the box 2012" or where to set my hotkey prefs.
It is said that a fool's voice is known by multitude of words... I'm just writing this stuff instead of saying it outloud... that's my loophole.

I rearranged the order of the panels of the "Home" tab to suit the way I like them to be. When i come in for work and open AutoCAD for the first time, or even if I need to shut it down and open it back up, not only does AutoCAD not start in my profile, but when I do set my profile to current, all of the panels rearrange themselves into default location. I even went into the 'Tools> Customize> Interface' menu to change the order the panels are set in there, but it still doesn't work. Everyday, I need to manually change their locations.

Lock/unlock commands have three major problems! No “window selection” to select the layers required to be locked in one go. For example, the “isolate” tool works fine with window selection! In principle, I have no idea about the philosophy beyond which some commands are banned from “window selection!No BUILT-IN icon to Lock All or Unlock All (sure, we can customize it but I’m talking about having this command as built-in)The AutoCAD doesn’t give an alert if a command is applied in the location where particular layers are looked. For example, in many cases, we get into trouble as we move particular objects to discover later that some of the objects were locked! That’s fine, but the AutoCAD should give warnings in case a command is applied where some layers are locked.

I just got a new dell inspiron laptop and installed ACAD 2011. Normally I draft with the ortho lock on and hold down shift when I want to disable it temporarily. With my new laptop this doesn't work. Holding shift down doesn't seem to make any difference at all.

I want to create a hot key that will lock viewports on/off. The command is MVIEW / L / ON OR OFF. What I would like to do is have VPL lock viewports and VPLL unlock viewports. How can I do this?

I created a 3d object in AutoCAD 2012. Set a camera at desired location.
Then switch to paper space, created an mview and set the camera view, then added some mtext and dimensions. Locked the display view, save my work and close AutoCAD. Now here's the exciting part. i re-launch AutoCAD and open the drawing. The drawing was messed up. It does not display the correct camera view that was previously saved. It sounds strange but I do it over and over and same thing happens.

The boss wants to lock down the title block so no one can change the appearance of the "T"block but still wants the attributes to work.
Currently the tile block is a stand alone drawing which is used to start new drawings and is also in template format.

We are using AutoCad 2012. Our company have more than 32 disciplines. For any projects the drawings are prepared with many disciplines. Civil does the civil drawing portions, water does the water pipeline portion, electrical does the electrical cable layout portions etc. etc. Each departments have their own set of layers in the drawing.
Now the problem is civil can accidentally modify the entities of electrical departments / utility departments. Though we lock the other disciplines layers programmetrically, but user can unlock the other disciplines layers easily if he wish to. Can we make those other disciplines layers read only? So that users can draw / modify in his own discipline layers but can not do that in other disciplines layer. But he can refer those layers / copy entities from those layers if he wish to? Some sort of xref type of thing is required, but we can not use xrefs as we work in a single drawing and our custom drawing management system is integrated with this type of file system accross the offices.

Is there anyway to change a rectangular Mview to a polygon one. I have all the text and call outs and now the engineer wants to blank out everything behind the match lines. I will probably never make a rectangle mview again.

I have done this before and it worked just fine, i saw the whole model and printed the view i needed. UCS symbol is exactly at the corner of the model and everything shows in the model space, but whatever i do paper space remains blank. I am lost and devastated. I attached print screens of the model and the layout.

I am having a problem with the perpendicular function when I draw a line. It won't lock at a single point, instead it moves along an axis.
For example, when I want to draw a line in Y direction it moves in the X axis, and opposite if I draw in the X direction.
How can I make the perpendicular function lock to one position?

I want to get up to speed on the whole sheet, navigator, title mark thing but it seems so much more straightforward in Revit. I used to use mview and layouts and would title by hand on paper space layouts. With the functionally of Revit (it seems to be straight forward to drop in field information in title marks, sheet, numbers etc.) I am having problems in the navigator.
My process now in Autocad 2013 is to draw in model space, go to a layout in paper space, insert using 'mview' with the scale appropriate to the paper space sheet (that has an imported border with logo company info etc.). In order to automate the title marks, I use the tools pallet and drag that block into the layout. The title mark won't recognize the mview, so I made vports (using the vports dialog) but these boxes disappear when I exit that vport dialog box. When I insert the title mark from the pallet these vports show up when dragged over, but disappear again when placed or when the cursor is moved away. There appears on these vports to be a title mark location already as the lower left hand corner has a circle (as to show a view number).
So is the mview not a vport? How do I get the current vports to show their borders on the layout or how do I get the mview border to become a vport? I'd like to get the automatic fields to work so that I can enjoy the functionality I am currently enjoying in Revit. 'Why not just use Revit', there are times when our office needs to use autocad when revit doesn't make sense.

LOCK ASPECT RATIO NOT WORKING! - when working in LR4.4 - if i have the padlock locked in place and the aspect set to "original" - when i press the left mouse button (keep pressed) and then grab a corner to change the crop from portrait to landscape, the aspect changes to "as shot" but does not lock the aspect. even though the padlock remains closed i can go past the normal aspect and make a square or any other shape, and the aspect has now changed to "custom" even though the padlock has remained closed throughout.
Desktop recording showing the problem!! URL....why is it so difficult to report a problem to adobe?

I am working with AutoCAD 2012 on a single computer. It appears that the acad.pgp doesn't work. for example when i type DI in command line it refers to:
Command: di DDINSERT
Command: nil
but i have checked the pgp file and in it, the letters DI refer to command DIST. Also in Command Alias Editor they refer to command DIST. I have also tried this:
Command: (findfile "acad.pgp")
and the answer is:
"C:\Users\User\appdata\roaming\autodesk\autocad 2012 -english\r18.2\enu\support\acad.pgp"

As I'm working in 2011 all of a sudden when I want to deselect all I hit the ESC key and objects are still selected. I can right click and select deselect all and that works. If I shutdown AutoCAD and restart the ESC key works again.

When working with layers, AutoCad 2011 goes into a "not responding" mode for a time. The more layers the longer it stays. Ctl,Alt Delete is not the answer.
My system is a Win 7, 32bit, with 4.0 Gb ram.
The system resource moniter is in the 67% MEM usage range. Normal usage is 47% with nothing visible on the display.

I am trying to run a DVB, file through a lisp routine, but it is telling me that the macro is not found. The macro is:
(DEFUN c:tm ()
(COMMAND "-vbarun" "txtmrg.dvb!RuntimeEvents.stylemerge")
(SETVAR "nomutt" 0)
(PRINC)
) ;_ end-defun
I have both the lsp and the dvb file in the same folder, and used appload to load the lsp routine.

I've got problems using Acad 2012, i'm sure it isn't a hardware problem since the specs are HIGH
First Problem is, when mouse over an icon/box/whatever you call it (eg. Line tool, Circle tool, etc), it only displays the text, but it doesn't show a blue highlight like it's supposed to do, and when i select it, the Blue highlight does not transfer to it, it remains on the Line tool
Second, The Search box isn't working
Third, when i switch from Drafting & Annotation to something else or vice versa, the tabs remain the same, and is usually accompanied by some annoying lags.

Every once in a while when I run the LAYMRG command, it just doesn't work. It looks like it's doing something, the screen flashes, like it's merged the layers, but in reality it hasn't and I get no error message as to why the layers weren't merged. Now I can't seem to get the command to work in this one particular file no matter what I do. If I copy elements from both of the layers I want to merge into a new and clean file, it then works.
what can cause LAYMRG to hiccup like this?
PS: I've run an audit and all was good and purged all regapps in case something was interfering with the command.

I have been using the MVSetup command to adjust a view port orientation however when I do this the Pickfirst command is changed to 0 - it was only by chance I discovered this and was able to change it back. Also, is there a command to reset all changes made through MVSetup in a viewport ?
