Disappearing Viewports -


hollister design Studio

Question

I've got a project that I've drawn the plan and the elevations in AutoCAD --- learning and working at the same time...

 

I've set up VW 'shuttle files' for both the plan and for the elevations.

On my main design file I have referenced viewports for each of the shuttle files on separate design layers (ExRwef, and ExRef-ELEV) and also on separate classes (V-XR ELEV, and V-XR PLAN) .

 

I've made an elevations sheet layer and placed viewports to the 4 elevation views from my shuttle file cad reference.

All looked good.

 

Then I went to a design layer to work a bit, then I went back to the elevations sheet layer...

 

3 of the 4 viewport had disappeared:

If I pan around they become visible while panning. If I zoom they become visible while zooming.

 

If I select them their outline becomes visible and selected:

If I export to PDF they print as visible:

But I can't see them.

 

I take that back -  as I was writing this 2 more became visible... for no apparent reason. 

Frustrating!

 

 

I have a decent older professional graphics card (AMD Firepro v5900) and have no problems in any other 3D, drafting, or design programs.

 

Ant thoughts?

I thought it might be my graphics card, as it was an older AMD FirePro V5900.

 

I've updated to a current model, AMD Radion Pro WX 3200 and am still occasionally experiencing this issue.

 

I know in AutoCAD there was a set limit to the number of view ports you could allow to refresh per sheet.

This was an adjustable number that was user controlled.
