layout space uneditable

Layout problem:
I seem to have lost access to layout space in ArchiCAD14. I can select and open items in a layout from the organizer, but I can't select or edit in the layout directly. How do I fix this?

Hi.
You would have to be more specific about your problem.

If what you are trying to achieve is working directly on a drawing placed in a layout (like working inside a viewport in cad), then you can't do it. Just select the drawing in layout, right-click and choose Open source view; this will open the view with its saved settings so you can make changes. Upon returning to the layout (and depending on drawings settings) it will be updated.

Cheers

I wonder if you have turned Snap on without knowing - easy to do and if your grid is larger than your layout sheet you won't be able to locate your cursor.

S key is the shortcut.
