Can not Create Viewport

[Maryam Salehi]

Hi, I have a problem with the viewport.

When I want to create a viewport in my design layer. Basically, I create a rectangle and then open the "Create Viewport" menu from the "View" dropdown menu. In the dialog box, I haven't changed anything and left the default settings, then I hit "OK". Usually, after I hit "OK", it goes to the sheet layer and the viewport is there. But this time, when I hit "OK", nothing changes and it doesn't go to the sheet layer.

If your class options are set to display 'active only', and you create your viewport, the viewport will be created in the None class, but you may not be able to see it if None is not the active class, hence it will appear to you as if nothing has happened.

When I tried this, I could still see an orange bounding box, so it doesn't completely explain your problem.

Check your settings in the dialog box.  I don't think that Design Layer Viewports can be cropped, so if you have a crop and and trying to create the viewport on a Design Layer instead of the Sheet Layer you think you are, then it probably won't work.
