Guest PAB12 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I am currently working on a project in AutoCAD electrical 2013 and I have been trying to do a zoom extents before I save and close but I have one drawing that is a different zoom when I zoom extents in it compared to all others in the project. They are all in the same AutoCAD E project and all made from the same template. Any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Can you describe what you mean by "a different zoom"? Smaller? Bigger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PAB12 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 it's zoomed out much further than it should be. Like a view of the earth from a space shuttle vs a airplane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Then it is possible that you have an object somewhere way off in space that forced the view you are seeing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukecad Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 One thing to watch out for here is an empty text or mtext object. (Usually in a drawing from an old version of Autocad). You zoom extents, it zooms out to way bigger than your drawing geometry but you can't see any object object out there because its an empty text. To find it do EDIT, SELECT, ALL, this should show up the grips on any empty objects out in hyperspace. Older autocad's don't purge these empty objects. If the empty object won't purge (or superpuge if you have E.T). then you can get rid of them by: DELETE, SELECT, ALL, REMOVE, select the geometry you want to keep, ENTER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
