Using viewports in modelspace

Hello,

I have previously been able to switch to a saved viewport in modelspace, but I am unable to now.

For example:

In elevation view I create a viewport (vport/save/elevation)

I then go on plan view at amend a drawing in the World orientation.

I want to go back to my elevation where I created a viewport so I type (vport/restore/elevation).

Nothing happens. UCS follow is on. If I check a list of viewports, they do exist.

Does anybody know how to fix this? Many thanks!

    Hello.

    This might be about saving the view, meaning the view point used to view the model.
    In this case, the -VIEW command could be used, first with the option Save, and then with the option Restore.

    Hi, thank you for the reply. I tried -view and it does work to some degree but my crosshair colours change, meaning I am drawing in the wrong plane.

    Hello.

    I am not sure about the crosshair color change.
    You might experiment with the dynamic UCS (DUCS), turning it ON and OFF.
