NX modeling principal plane of an assembly too stretched

[Paotr]

Hello,
I work with an assembly around 3m x 4m x 4m and i don't know why but when i hit "Fit view" it takes me so far away that the part becomes 1 pixel.

I thought there was a small element of the assembly like a screw that wanders very far from the rest but after checking I don't think so (difficult to check all, i don't have strategy).

Otherwise I think a camera setting problem.

Anyway when I orbit around the assembly I sometimes lose sight of it completely and the only way I have found to find it again is to create a new sketch, bring up the 3 default planes and
zoom in to the intersection of the 3. Please see the attached image which illustrates what i am writing.

Does anyone have a suggestion to fix this camera/adjustment/wandering problem?

Thank you,

I dig a little and find this pdf useful.
Still have my problem but maybe it will help other.

Thanks for the update.

The problem is that someone somewhere decided your default should use three default planes instead of a single absolute CSYS.

Incompetent people are everywhere. Some make CAD templates.

I understand that your issue is that when you do a fit, it zooms out from what you're working on? The planes you refer to are just a way of seeing where the origin is.

Did you try the suggestion #9 in the PDF you refer to (I wrote that by the way).
What I would suggest is to switch between top, front & right views, doing a fit between each one. Your box should appear in one corner, the object/objects causing the issue will be diagonally opposite when a fit is done.You should then be able to select & delete them. See attached video for an example of what I'm referring to.

Thank you PhoeNX, I'm honored and a little impressed to see that it's the writer who answers!
I tried the technique without success, I even repeated it on all the layers and nothing either.

If you're able to, upload the file here I can take a look at it.
Otherwise I can arrange a link for you to upload to.

Problem solved !

The culprit was a joint
[ul]
[li]in a pack of 2
far from its twin
in a sub sub assembly[/li]
[/ul]

I found it by loading each sub-assembly one after the other and checking the extent of the three plans by doing "new sketch".
As soon as the plans became huge I opened the sub-assembly in another window and deleted the culprit with the PhoeNX technique.

Again, thank you PhoeNX
