WHY ARE MY VIEWPORTS SELF ADJUSTING??!!AND DONT EVEN ASK IF I AM SURE THEY WERE LOCKED, COME ON MAN, IVE BEEN USING AUTOCAD FOR 25 YEARS, YES I AM ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE THEY WERE LOCKED, BECAUSE I SPENT AALL MORNING GETTING MY VIEWPORT TO LOOK LIKE I WANTED IT, WHICH WAS A PERSPECTIVE PLAN VIEW.I DESIGN STRUCTURAL STEEL, AND OFTEN TIMES WE HAVE STEEL BEAMS ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER AT DIFFERENT LEVELS, 1ST, SECOND, THIRD FLOOR AND SO ON, WELL THE BEST WAY TO SHOW THIS IN PLAN IS TO USE THE PERSPECTIVE PLAN VIEW BECAUSE THE PLAN VIEW IS SLIGHTLY SKEWED AND YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENT LEVELS, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS FEATURE, TAKES OUT THE GUESS WORK OF WHERE THE BEAMS SHOULD BE. WELL I PUT ALL OF MY ANNOTATIONS IN PAPERSPACE OF THE PERSPECTIVE PLAN VIEW, SO ONCE I START ADDING ALL OF MY ANNOTATIONS, MY PERSPECTIVE VIEW NEEDS TO STAY EXACTLY WHERE IT IS OR MY ANNOTATIONS POINT TO THE WRONG STEEL MEMBERS, ETC. I HAVE 60 STEEL BEAMS AND 70 STEEL COLUMNS GOING FROM THE GROUND TO FOUR STORIES, AND I LABEL ALL OF THIS IN PAPERSPACE, I SPENT ALL MORNING GETTING THIS TO LOOK RIGHT, AND WHEN I WENT BACK INTO MY LAYOUT TAB, MY VIEW WAS SWITCHED TO A PARALLEL PLAN VIEW, AND NOW IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE VIEW BACK JUST THE WAY I HAD IT, SO NOW I HAVE TO GO AND SHIFT ALL OF MY HUNDREDS OF ANNOTATIONS, IT IS SO FRUSTRATING BECAUSE MY FIRST VIEW WAS PERFECT, AND NOW IM HAVING TO CUT CORNERS TO GET IT BACK TO WHERE I HAD IT..........I CANNOT HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN, WHY DID THIS HAPPEN, WHY, WHY WHY!!!?FRUSTRATED, I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT STAND REDOING THINGS IN AUTOCAD, WHEN I HAD IT PERFECT THE FIRST TIME.......DEFEATS THE ENTIRE PURPOSEHELP ME PLEASE...THANKSERIC
