gsksun4 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I haven't figured out what zoom all is for. Doesn't seem to make sense to me. What would be the proper usage for this zoom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 To see "all" in your drawing. Zoom and see "all." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 "does what says on the tin" !! Get a drawing on screen - zoom in to view a tiny selection - now hit zoom all. Is that any help? If all else fails look up the 'help' file. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 If all else fails look up the 'help' file. Words of wisdom. :wink: The Autocad Help files will explain what the various Zoom options do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Good point Glen, I've been using A'cad for donkeys years and never stopped to think about it. I'm so used to having old versions of commands cropping up in each new release I just use whatever works on the day! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I haven't figured out what zoom all is for. Doesn't seem to make sense to me. What would be the proper usage for this zoom? With limits set and an object drawn smaller than limits- Zoom all will zoom to the limits boundary, zoom extents will zoom to just show the object. If objects are outside limits zoom all and zoom extents will act the same. Zoom all with limits was used in the early days to keep from causing a regen because the computers were so slow.

Eatonpcat Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Thanks for the info, JD... Sounds like a bunch of crap to me. If my 25 years of experience doesn't override someone taking a test to be certified, then I guess I won't get the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my 25 years of experience doesn't override someone taking a test to be certified, then I guess I won't get the job. After taking the test I pretty much have the same impression as you. It shouldn't be a Professional level certification because in my opinion the test covers AutoCAD at the intermediate level. Regardless of how I feel about it, it is the employer that matters, and some employers care about this. I have 20+ years of experience with AutoCAD and the Professional Certification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
