Original Question:
>I have been using AV3.x for years (Since it was 2.x) and recently my software
>has developed an annoying quirk. Every once in a while (increasingly so) when
I
>work with a portrait format layout then switch to a landscape layout for the
>next map (zoomed to a new area on the view), the layout draws fine, then when
it
>finishes drawing it resets itself to a smaller scale zoom. When I switch
back
>to the view, everything there appears normal but I cannot get the layout to
STAY
>zoomed to the same level as the view. I have noticed that it occasionally
>(often?) redraws the layout on its own accord, but does not change the zoom
>level. The redraw happens immediately after it finishes drawing it the first
>time.
>
>I have played with the scale and Extent settings in the View Frame
Properties,
>with the Landscape vs Portrait settings. I can't think of anything else that
>could be causing my grief. Any suggestions? Anyone else ever have this
problem?
>Trouble is, it is not a consistent problem and doesn't always occur, therefore
I
>can't always reproduce it on demand.
Thanks to all those who sent me words of encouragement/ discouragement
/sympathy. Seems quite a few have seen this phenomenon and the workaround for
most seems to be not to leave your view maximized. I'm not convinced that is
the real solution, because after I closed the project and reopened it, the
problem went away, even though the views were still maximized. Merely saving
the project did not have any effect on the problem, though. It had to be
closed.
I will experiment a bit more with it and if I come up with any breakthroughs I
will inform the list.
Thanks again to my GIS "family" on the list. Always there when I need you!
