Viewports have a property that allows them to be "locked", so they can't be re-scaled or panned. While this can be a little obnoxious on detail sheets (where things tend to change size a bit more), it's invaluable on plan sheets. Especially if you tend to double-click in viewport to make a small change, then zoom before you remember which space you're in. (It's happened to all of us.) Make your viewport, lock it, and you never have to worry about the scale again.

About the blog
Welcome to Kate's CAD Tips!
I've been sending these tips out to my office once a week for about three years now, and decided to start the blog as a way to put them all in one place. Who knows, maybe they'll help somebody else out there too!
Some of the tips are pretty basic, but hey, we all had to start somewhere.
Most of the tips apply to AutoCAD 2004 & up -- I'll try to note if it's only available in later versions, but no promises. And ALL the tips apply to AutoCAD LT.
As always, if you have a tip you'd like to see featured, send it on in!
