I received a drawing from another user. I want to change the scale in a viewport in paperspace. However, when I go to modelspace and try to do anything with the viewport I get the message... "Viewport is view-locked. Switching to Paper space."
I've never needed to "lock" a viewport, much less know how to unlock one. I erased his viewport and drew in a new one as a work around. But I thought someone might be able to shed some light on this for me.

go to paperspace.
type "mview" into the command line
there should be an option for lock (L). type "L"
next, there should be an option for Lock (ON/OFF). Type "off" and click on the viewport you want to unlock.

Typically a locked veiwport can only be unlocked by somone who has the password used to lock it.
By selecting the viewport and opening AutoCAD properties box (shortcut 'CH') you should be able to find more details about your problem.
