ASH_CAD Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Hi all, happy Easter. Weirdly, when I MVIEW in Layout as I would do normally then followed by Zoom and Extents once in the viewport, nothing is displayed but there is a drawing in Model Space. Tried deleting Layout and creating new ones. Obviously changed a setting but no idea which one. Urgent piece of work needed so any guidance appreciated.

Tyke Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 It sounds like you have a stray object in there somewhere, probably around 0,0, and when you zoom extents it zooms so far out that you just don't see anything. Two ways to check it out. One is to zoom right in on 0,0 and see if anything is there, if so delete it or move it to where it should be. Two, zoom extents and then zoom out a bit more, place a crossing window over the whole screen and you should see the grips of the objects (that's assuming you don't have a drawing with huge amounts of objects and grips don't show any more). If you have two or more sets of grips on screen zoom in on them to find the rogue object and delete them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASH_CAD Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 I think you are right but I can not zoom to 0,0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyke Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Try drawing a line and input the start coordinates on the command line, entering 0,0 and the other end by clicking in the middle of your screen. Then zoom in on the start point of the line, you might have to do a couple REGENs in between. Did you try zooming extents, zooming out a bit and placing a crossing window?

Tyke Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Just a bit of further information. You can zoom in on 0,0 by issuing the command ZOOM followed by WINDOW, first point enter -1,-1 second point enter 1,1. After pressing the return key you are zoomed in with 0,0 in the centre of your screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASH_CAD Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Arghh, learning more and more. Also, why if I create two MVIEWs in PS. If I zoom in one, the other also changes? They seem to be linked somehow. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyke Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I cannot replicate your problem, can you upload a small drawing that displays this behaviour. Check that the System Variable UCSFOLLOW is set to 0. You need to check that in each view port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be linked somehow. John It sounds like you have probably set up 3D viewports, which default to typical orthographic perspectives?
