Any chance you could post one of these drawings?  Maybe someone here can take a look and figure out what's going on.

Hello all!
I've been using Autocad for a while now. However, I just got hired into a new company where they work with Vectorworks, a program that I don't know a lot about.
I have to work on some old projects of the company because we need to change many details in the plans and sections.
So I exported all of the files from Vectorworks (DXF) to Autocad (DWG) so I can be quicker while working, and I clicked on the right settings while exporting.
The problem is: when I open the files on Autocad now, if I go to the layouts which where already made in Vectorworks, the viewports are locked, and even when I unlock them, I cannot see the viewports objects. The page is empty, except when I pan the Paper space, the objects in the Viewports appear, untill I unclick the pan button in my mouse. I really don't know how to make them appear normally, and making the layout all over again will be a real waste of time!
HELP PLEASE!!
