AutoCAD - Cannot Enter Small Viewport Enclosed in Larger Viewport

[@PMSteve]

Can't you press ctrl + R when you're in the larger viewport and that will cycle you back and forth between the 2 viewports on your page? That would avoid your VPMAX issue.

I never knew that thanks! The only drawback would be if you have more than two viewports in the layout, you'd have to cycle through them. Obviously that's a non-issue for some but might be for others. I just use my copy trick because it's easy enough to memorize. I'm not as good at memorizing key strokes as I am command aliases (not sure why, younger people seem to prefer the keystrokes though so maybe it's age ;-) ).

Sure, I rarely have more than 2 or 3 viewports so I'm happy to cycle through but I understand how it would be a pain if you have many. Glad to be able to show you something new for once! 😄

Just double click the outline of the small viewport, edit what you need, type ps, hit enter and you're back

[@randomCADstuff]

That works but I like my way better because I can see the boundary of the viewport. The "VPMAX" command that's triggered when you double-click on the viewport is for me at least kind of an unwanted feature. I guess I could change that in the cui.
