AYAAKI Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 For some reason I am unable to select my viewport in my sheet layers. I can't select in order to annotate and crop or move the viewport around the sheet layer. I feel I've exhausted my resources as far as co workers and searching the forum so apologies if this question has been answered a million times and I missed it. Do I have some settings box checked off? I can't attach the file to a public forum just yet as this production is still upcoming. Please let me know, thanks! Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 have you changed your class options? Make sure they are set to Show/Snap/Modify others. 1 Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) Like any Element in VW, a Viewport is assigned to a Design or (in your case) a Sheet Layer + a Class. Check if you set the Viewports Class to be visible and class options to allow access to elements on that class. (Show Snap Modify Others) If you don't know which Class the Viewport is on, just hover your Cursor over the VP, right click and chose "Force Select", then VW will do that the necessary Class Settings automatically for you.

SIDUG Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I also have this problem - can't select nor snap to any points of a viewport on sheet layer. FYI: 1) layers are set to 'show/snap/modify others"; 2) classes are set to 'show/snap/modify others"; 3) viewports are in None class (and I can pickup any other objects in None class on the same sheet. Should I send you the file so you can try? Thanks Sid Quote Link to comment
SIDUG Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I am sorry I said "on sheet layer". They are actually on design layer. I have attached a screen shot to show the other settings. Please help! Thanks Sid Quote Link to comment
SIDUG Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I solved it, although it is still a bit of mystery. I have a second viewport of the same plan on another design layer. I found out that this layer was set to Orthgonal projection(Don't know when it happened, probably a quick-key without knowing). After I change that layer back to 2D Plan I can snap or select the first VP in question. What doesn't make sense is why a different viewport on a different design layer could affect it. Hope someone can explain. Thanks Sid Quote Link to comment
SIDUG Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I'm such a fool. I thought I solved the problem but I didn't. I still can't snap nor select all the viewports. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) This may be completely off, but that sounds like If feel when I try to use the Push Pull Tool and it will not select any Faces of the Object I want to edit, but proposes all Faces of the Objects around. The solution in this case is to select the object and CMD+F move to front. In rare cases it may have helped to zoom out and simply come back in from another view rotation side. All not applicable in your case (?) Pre 2017, ANY problems with visibility or edit-ability were ALWAYS related to inappropriate Layer/Class Settings. I think since VW 2017, there also happens some black magic frome inside of the graphics module. Edited December 16, 2016 by zoomer Quote Link to comment
Jellydutchlegs Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Hi, I've had the same issue, it can get very frustrating to the point where you would just rather throw the computer out the window and try again. In the classes organiser, I made sure all the classes were showen in the filter, after that I just turn them all on to be visible. This allowed me to select the viewport and place it in the correct class and layer. I hope this helps! Cheers, Jelle Quote Link to comment

Edit: never looked at the date of the TS post, issue probably solved in the meantime… Edited May 7, 2021 by Jan-Burger TROOST Quote Link to comment

Sorry, wrong wording, translated it from Dutch… I meant where you change Snap to Grid, Snap to Object, etc. I think I should have mentioned it as Constraints Palet…? Quote Link to comment
SIDUG Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 It's just simply called the 'Snapping' palette. 1 Quote Link to comment
bosozoku Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Hi! I had the same problem not being able to edit or crop viewport. I solved it by unchecking "lock position" in Object Info palette. Hope it helps! Quote Link to comment
