sstalker Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hi there. I'm having a persistent issue with my viewports in sheet layers I have set up. The files are set up as follows; DESIGN FILE: SECTIONS PLOT FILE: SECTIONS The design file contains the drawn information and the plot file contains the sheet layer (plot sheet) with the design file referenced into it. I will set up my plot file correctly with my viewports referencing the relevant layers and it will appear to work for some time. After coming back to the file after a couple of day, the referenced information will of appeared to move miles out of location, meaning I need to either redefine my crop extents and drag the information back onto the sheet or simply redo the viewports from scratch. The design file isn't moving location. This can happen again and again, despite however many times I set up the viewports and don't alter the design file. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this to happen? I've only noticed it since updating to vectorworks 2017 and converting my drawing files to 2017. I have the 2 service packs installed as well. Any help would be much appreciated. Regards. Sam Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Couple of things need to check, distance from VW origin of you drawing. Too far and causes issues and if you are using exref recheck your origin for each file HTH Edited February 2, 2017 by Alan Woodwell Quote Link to comment

Tom Klaber Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 We have had this issue too. Check the forums there are several threads. I think it too has to do with the distance from origin - somehow scrambles the VW brain. Do you use rotated plan? We have found that importing references while in plan rotation can cause ongoing issues like this. 1 Quote Link to comment
sstalker Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Thanks for the replies. I'll check the VW origin as this is something I've not regarded before. I do use the rotated plan. I'll try ensuring the drawing rotation is set back to zero before I import the plans again. Quote Link to comment
