JHEarcht3 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) VW 2013 on Windows 10 Because VW won't let me show two layers with different scales, I created a detail on a 3" = 1'-0" layer, and made a Viewport referenced to a 1/4" = 1'-0" layer. The new VP displays on the 1/4" layer for a moment, then disappears. I've done this several times, and get the same results. The classes for both layers are turned on. I have other VPs in this set. So I can't figure what is wrong. I assume it's something obvious, but it eludes me. Any suggestions will be appreciated. It's all 2D, and my graphics card is old, but works fine. Zooming doesn't help. Edited September 15, 2021 by JHEarcht3 Quote Link to comment
unearthed Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Have you got a mix up going on with the Screen Plane / Layer Plane? That causes all kinds of weirdness. Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Something to look at: Vwx should be able to display layers with different scales in Design Layer views and in Sheet Layer Viewports. I think vwx 2013 includes the Unified View command in the View Menu. Look in the View Menu. If no checkmark, click to enable the Unified View. Then open the View Menuy > Unified View Options. Un check the "Ignore Layers of Different Scale" option. -B Quote Link to comment

If it already has (AFAIK VW 2014 had), AFAIK the default sub settings of unified view are set to NOT show Layers of different scales beside each other. EDIT I could swear Benson's post wasn't there when I answered 6 hours later 😉 Edited September 15, 2021 by zoomer 1 Quote Link to comment
JHEarcht3 Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Thanks for the suggestions. I checked and found that Unified View was already checked. So I don't know why I couldn't see the the large scale detail at first. And I still don't know why the Viewport displayed briefly, and then disappeared. However, despite my ignorance, the detail is now displaying properly. Maybre I just wasn't holding my mouth right. 🙂 Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Double click on the Unified View Icon to bring up its sub settings. Check if these make sense to your purposes ... Quote Link to comment
