Viewport naming issue

[Bertf]

Hi,

 

I have the following issue:

When I create a 2nd viewport on sheet 1 and the checkbox "Name viewport as Dwg No./Sheet No." is checked. It receives the name "2/1".

 

 

When I then duplicate this viewport on this sheet, (just to change some visible classes for example). The name of the duplicate is 2/2 and not 3/1 as one would expect:

 

This gives the issue that when I create a 2nd viewport on sheet 2 with the auto naming checkbox selected that I get a naming conflict because 2/2 already exists on sheet 1...

 

 

So is it possible to fix this that duplication of a viewport changes the name according to the autonaming convention "dwg no/sheet no"?

 

Or even better in my opinion: Change the auto naming of a viewport to "sheet no/dwg no", then the duplicate viewport logic can remain the same.

 

 

Thanks,

Kind regards,

Bert

I think you can solve this if you turn on "automatic drawing coordination" in the document preferences. Then duplicating the viewport will give you what you want.
