Newbie lost in Paperspace
Newbie lost in Paperspace
(OP)
I just finished my first floorplan (A2K) in Modelspace and then tabbed to Paperspace. The screen went gray. I opened a viewport. The window landed miles away from the white layout page (by scrolling I could just see it on the edge of the screen). Whenever I tried to manipulate the Paperspace window onto the white layout page I got "fatal errors" and had to do a "recover".
Somehow I eventually manipulated a paperspace window onto the white layout page but when I used the toolbar to open a floating viewport to get back to Modelspace, the drawing landed in the gray wasteland, out of the window.
Some things (possibly silly) I did along the way:
1. I rotated my floorplan in Modelspace. I thought I rotated back again, but the UCS icon in Paperspace finished up on its back.
2. I moved the floorplan around a bit, and at one stage I changed the drawing limits (bigger).
I've since successfully opened a viewport in Paperspace (another Layout), but where did I screw up in my first attempt. Nothing about this in George Omura or Shawna Lockhart.
Any help greatly appreciated.

RE: Newbie lost in Paperspace
The only time I've seen something happen like what you've described, it was caused by a bogus paper size setting during the Page Set-up (2.35 in high by 3550 inces long). The guy had a problem with decimal points

Also the way I like to rotate my views is DVIEW, <Enter> (Use their house, TWist, and the input your angle, usually 90 or - 90.
Don't forget to lock those viewports.
