Autopilot dis-engages

[twister1853 7]

With my 737NGX, when switching to another view, the autopilot occasionally dis-engages.  How can I prevent this happening?

could be  a number  of reasons, you moved  your  yoke   which  will disengage,   you  got a another key  assignment  to  the  autopilot

Sounds a lot like you might have a button to switch views assigned to your hardware, and that, when you press that button, the sim also looks for any other commands from your hardware, to include an out-of-position axis, tripping the AP off.

Have a look at your calibration, and set a null zone. You will also want to check to ensure that you don't have any axes assigned to anything odd (any USB device that you plug in can get assigned axes - my USB push to talk will occasionally get an axis assigned to it...makes no sense, but the sim will try).
