designerstuart Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 hi all so when i use d-click middle button or command ZOOM - EXTENTS it zooms in on a small portion of the drawing. ever seen that before? purge, audit, regen, zoom all - no joy. cheers! Quote
Tyke Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Have you checked LIMITS to see if they correspond to the zoomed in area? Quote
Stryker1989 Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 I have had this before but not entirely sure what the problem is. mine had nothing to do with the LIMITS which is what I thought as well at first. What worked for me was very simple. Use the scroll wheel to zoom all the way out and once you can see all of your drawing then use the double-click middle button to zoom extents. Not sure if it will work for you and obviously isn't a solution to the problem but if it happens to me again I will look into it a bit more for you Quote
designerstuart Posted September 6, 2011 Author Posted September 6, 2011 nah tried limits too. thanks stryker but that didn't work either. defo in the drawing as restart doesn't help - other drawings okay. Quote
Stryker1989 Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Unfortunately I've never thought this a problem because I can get round it and for the life of me I cannot think of the circumsatnces that caused this to happen mate sorry. But if it does happen again I'll make a note and try and help you. Until then it's up to anyone else who has any ideas I'm afraid. Quote
nestly Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 What does the command line show immediately after double-clicking the wheel? It should be Command: '_.zoom _e Quote
designerstuart Posted September 6, 2011 Author Posted September 6, 2011 okay so i know the problem but i thought i'd let you have a go - here's a little quiz for you. if you solve it in a few seconds i'll be ashamed! zoom extents.dwg Quote
Tyke Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 OK, you were in a layout and changed to model space and when you zoomed extents it zoomed to the viewport extents not the model space extents. If when you are in your layout you change back to paperspace and zoom extents, then you will see your viewport. Doubleclick in the viewport, zoom extents, double click outside of the viewport to change back to paperspace, zoom extents. und fertig Quote
designerstuart Posted September 6, 2011 Author Posted September 6, 2011 yes pretty daft, sorry thanks for the help. it had my cad experts here confused for a while! Quote
nestly Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Yep, Z>E is working fine, but the vp was larger than the display. Quote
