Jest Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Hi Is there a way to Extending Zoom only to visible objects (currently turned ON)? I have a wide sized map data connected (shp) to drawing, but turned Off. When using Zoom Extents command, invisible shp items are included and my visible objects disappeared from my sight, because they are too small. Is there a solution for this problem?

tombu Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 It's simple just freeze layers rather than turning them off to avoid that issue. Objects on layers that are turned off are not only processed by Zoom Extents but slow down AutoCAD as it has to process more objects than you're actually working on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 You can set limits for a dwg by selection of 2 points and use zoom all rather than extents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombu Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 You could also select those visible objects then Zoom Objects instead of Zoom Extents to get exactly what you want. I've just always felt freezing layers avoids issues from turning layers off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that...but as I said, problem causes my attached shp file...and it is turned OFF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombu Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Did you try using Zoom Object? Zooms to display one or more selected objects as large as possible and in the center of the view. You can select objects before or after you start the ZOOM command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
