I never knew I could do that, and the crop is editable. I've always created vieports on a sheet and linked it to the design layer and then croped it. But recently, for whatever reason, I can't do that anymore. Your way makes more sense anyway. Thanks Ray

I want to place a portion of a design layer on a sheet so I can print it....You can't create a viewport displaying the design layer you're creating in it on. It doesn't matter where I create viewports, I still can't edit crop until I draw a triangle in edit crop mode. I didn't have to do that before but now I do. Why? What has changed?

Oh yes you can !!!??? How else can you display your design layer drawings on a sheet so you can print them to scale with a title block? Draw on sheet rather than design layers?

Thanks Pat I'm simply trying to creating a viewport of the ground floor on a sheet layer - nothing fancy. I selected the floor plan, went to a sheet and created a new viewport but the same thing happened - I cant edit it unitl I draw a triangle. I'm sure it worked before without having to to anything. At least the trangle thing gets me out of trouble for now but it's tedious to have to do and I have to go back and fix up all the other ones now.

Thanks Benson Just tried the poly line thing. It didn't make any sense but it works!!! Still - when I create a new viewport I still can't edit crop until I draw a poly line. Why is that? Why can't I edit new viewports?

Yes I'm in edit crop mode Reboot - no change Open older doc - I can edit crop Open new doc on someone elses comp - can't edit crop either my viewports - can edit theirs I can edit crop on viewports I created a week ago but nothing since No change to my comp - no upgrades - no rebuilds - no new software.

For some reason I can no longer edit the crop of new viewports. I have compared older viewports to new ones and can't find any differences. I have scoured the setups, preferences, properties and can't find anything out of wack. The old viewports in edit crop mode come up as editable polygons, but new ones don't - it also says Crop:No in Object Info. Viewports are created on an active Class, all visiblities are on. Everything appears to but ok but i can not crop any new viewports. What have I done to cause this and how do I fix it?
