Chris D Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Anyone else having trouble with going 'through the viewport' to get to the design layers on large files? I have a few files where VW stubbornly refuses to go through the viewport (Edit Viewport > Design Layer) and just sits there even when repeatedly attempting to do it. It's really annoying because I don't use the Saved Views anymore as these just duplicate the viewport settings...but I can't get to my views now! Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Have you tried closing and reopening the file? Or restarting VW? I seem to remember coming across this problem now and then. A VW restart usually gets around it. Quote Link to comment
Chris D Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Hi Christiaan, no this doesn't help. It's a persisting problem on these files. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 With both methods: right-click and double-click? By the way, you might also be interested in this: http://techboard.nemetschek.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Number=73194 Quote Link to comment
Chris D Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Christiaan, you're a genius..or at least very helpful. I had always double-clicked, rather than right-click. The right-click works great even on the troublesome viewports. I assumed this just invoked the same command...but actually this is at least 5 times as fast to actually regenerate the Design Layers too! Wonder why this is?? Dream. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 It sounds like your double click behavior of the viewports has been set to something other than "take me back to the design layer" editing mode. When you right click on the Viewport, choose the desired double click behavior, or leave it set to "Take me to this dialog" to choose which editing mode you want when double clicking.

Don@Black Dog Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Small update: I find that your cursor has to be over a line or fill for the double click to work. Also, you get different menus on right click depending on whether you are over a line or fill, or over empty space. Quote Link to comment
