Hey Folks.....
Here's another one from work. I have some redlines that originated from another drafter, but thats not the prob. After an hour of changes I plot preview and it is completely blank, I re-window and "scale to fit" without any effect. The sheet has a Xref site plan with one regular square viewport and all text and dims (yes dims, I know its a sin, but thats the company) on paperspace. Now for the clues.....on the "Plot Settings" tab if I un-check the "plot paperspace last" box all the text and dims (I know, I know) :) now show on the preview, so I know I have the right area to plot, but still nothing from modelspace, the Xref. The viewport displays objects and show on the screen fine, we even have a hard copy, plotted from the other drafter in the same office. Clue 2..If I unlock the viewport then click into modelspace (from the layout) the view will zoom way out (from a 1:20 scale to something like 1:100). This is without zooming or attempting any command, just going from paper to model. This project has about 10 sheets and this happens on 3 of them. My only recourse has been to re-build the dwgs.
I'm thinking of changing my qoute from "List of Weird things..." to "Really starting to dislike CAD 04"
Thanks in Advance
