    I have two different drawings on the same space and was working on one of the drawings in zoom window. However when I try to see both drawings by zooming all, I get skewed objects in the screen.

    Please advise how I could get both drawings to show in the window.

    Interesting - try this

    Type - CHANGE - Select Objects - ALL
    Return - Properties - Elevation - If this says varies then reset to 0

    Now zoom all and the drawings should be on the same elevation.

    Let me know if this works. :-)

    Nothing worked, in fact when I typed all it said that 4 were not in current space.

    I was using the first view that I did my drawings in which was model. I do not know how to use the other two layouts: Layout 1 and Layout 2.

    I'm having the same problem
    I finally got the UCS & view aligned to work on a long site section
    but now the area is too big to work on - I tried to switch to 2 horizontal viewports (Model Space) but I can't get them aligned to start making the construction lines for the section.

    After following your suggestion, after I select All objects, it says "4 were not in the current view" i hit Enter. Then it prompts me for the Properties, I hit enter, but then it wants "Specify new block insertion point" ?! I can't even enter a value or accept the one it's offering <90> it just keeps responding "No Change"

    Help????

    thanks-TC
    In Case I forget- I'm using AutoCAD 2004!
    Thanks always.
