I guess that's what I did and forgot.  Thanks for refreshing my memory rebellio.

Hi,
 
You can switch the UCS on and off per viewport.
Just click in the viewport and type command ucsicon --> off.
 
regards

Well if that is the case then it is a feature I have turned off on day one since as far back as AutoCAD 2004 or it is some obscure sysvar that I have completely forgotten about since I have no use for it.  When I get a moment I'll check what sysvars I have turned off and maybe one of them will ring a bell.

I have taken a look at a few videos on creating multiple layouts and in each one the xyz icon did show in all vp's when one was activated. That must be normal and I just never noticed it before.
 
As far as the twisting in multiple vp's when only one is activated, I don't know. I had not seen that before. I'll keep trying to find something on that.
 
In the mean time, thank you very much John for responding. if I find out why it's doing that, I'll post it.

Well you could always try a REPAIR of the installation.  It is pretty mundane and will do no harm as it just finds and replaces corrupted AutoCAD program files and does not touch actual drawing files.

I searched as well but could not find one other person who said they were seeing the same thing.

I have searched online to see if anyone else has had this issue and haven't found anything, I have talked with other CAD users and gone through the ACAD help topics.
 
Yesterday I opened a new drawing and used the New Viewport command pulldown to create a couple of layout viewports and the same thing was happening - click in one to activate and the xyz symbol shows up in both.
 
I'm stumped and so are others I've talk to.

I have been unable to replicate the condition you describe and nothing comes to mind, command wise, that I can think of at the moment.

What steps have to taken thus far to solve the problem on your own?

What command did you use to create these viewports?

I have noticed in the last few weeks that when I click in a viewport in paperspace in a layout with multiple viewports, all of the viewports show the xyz icon in the lower left corner instead of just the one I'm in. I don't think it's supposed to be that way.
 
I first noticed it when I went to do a dview twist in one viewport and saw the twist happen in all the viewports in the layout. I hadn't done anything any differently than I had been doing them over the years.
 
Did I perhaps change a setting accidently? I have tried to find posts about this but haven't been successful.
