walk about broke

[Chas / Aug Posekany]

Roy,

What did I do?

I've been using 254 bfor a while with no problem. Now all at once when I hit the walkabout button it flashes the walkabout window on the screen and disappears.

Must be time to go home for today.

[Chas / Aug Posekany]

Never mind, I guess I've never tried to activate the walkabout screen while in Acad paperspace before. Nxt don't like that evidently.

[Chas / Aug Posekany]

Yes i did break it. I switched to model space and got the walkabout back up but it renders a black screen. Completely rebotted my PC and reloaded Acad and still renders black screen.

If I render the same viewpoint straight from the autocad window it runs fine.

 

I dunno, time to go home, I'll think about it tomorrow.

Hmmm.... try loading a named view from AutoCAD then rendering.  Save a copy of the broken drawing by the way-- I'm very interested.

[Chas / Aug Posekany]

I have a named view that is set in the walkabout window. It is also displayed on my modelspace viewport. If I open the walkabout window it displays my model correctly but when I render it I get a black screen and it renders very fast like there is nothing there. If I render the same view directly from my Acad viewport it renders fine.

Acad file will be uploaded momentarily.

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

I never got the uploaded file.  Try again?

[Chas / Aug Posekany]

I loaded a different file this am and it renders fine from the walkabout.

So I reloaded the offending file and it still renders a black sacreen from the walkabout.

I can't figure out what numb skull thing I did. Probably some simple user error.

I may be off base here, but this would be quick to try.

Just a thought here but if you had set things up in paper space, you might try deletting your camera and reinserting a new one. It seems like there could be many potential problems from cutting a camera from paper space and inserting it in model space.
