Browse Tool?

Post by turtle » Thu Dec 13, 2018 7:56 pm

Greetings all, often when I reopen a drawing that I have not used in a long time or from another program it is super zoomed out and hard to find the actual drawing to zoom into.
Is there a hand 'browse' tool that will push the drawing around for me?
Thanks in advance.

Auto zoom should usually do the trick:
View > Zoom > Auto Zoom

If not, there are entities (probably unwanted entities) causing the auto zoom to be off. To get more detailed help, please attach your drawing file.

Hi,

you can adjust the Load settings below Graphics View / Appearance

That will cover ALL entities on load but nothing more. The rest can be done easily with the zoom tools.

If a thread is considered as "solved" please change the title of the first post to "[solved] Title..."
