Autocad 2008 polyline viewport

Make sure the layer has not been turned off or frozen: In the Layer Properties Manager, make sure the layer that contains the viewport geometry is not turned off or frozen. Go to the layout tab that contains the problem viewport. The border visibility of layout viewports is controlled by layer visibility. Layout viewports are objects that display views of model space. You create, scale, and place them in paper space on a layout. On each layout, you can create one or more layout viewports.

Each layout viewport is like a closed circuit TV monitor of a view of the model at a scale and orientation that you specify.

Sorry, but A VP has to have at least a rectangle, but you can get rid of the polyline clip-boundary if the VP is clipped. It should have an option of Delete if the VP was clipped already. BTW this clip-boundary could be on a separate layer from that of the VP, but it's very difficult to select it without also selecting the VP itself.

There's one glitch however. It's not really a "feature", more like something which doesn't work as intended. See the attached DWG But the VP's "border" doesn't display at all. Select it, type QSelect and filter for the Polyline. Then erase the polyline. The only way to get this VP back to normal so you can stretch it e.

See why it's not recommended? I noticed in the drawing you posted back you changed the Linetypes by layer to be dashed instead of continuous. The lines are supposed to be continuous in model space and dashed in the viewport.

When I changed the layer linetypes back to continuous and left them dashed by viewport , I got the linetype generation error again in the viewport. It wouldn't be a problem if the polylines only looked like they had generation enabled, but they print that way too. Yes I did notice you had viewport overrides for the 2 layers in question.

So I can now see your point! It seems to be something to do with viewport-layer overrides. If the layer is set to Continuous in MS and some other line type I even tried Center in the viewport, the LTGen seems to happen whether you've got it turned on or not.

This only happens if the layer's default is Continuous, if it's set to anything else it works fine. I don't think there's a setting Could someone else check in a newer version if this still happens? See the screen captures attached. Maybe you should open a bug report with ADesk.
