Zooming in Paperspace

[kander]

All,

I have a situation when I'm trying to dimension in paperspace. i.e. Drawing is set to layout and dimensioning fine, until I zoom in where the viewport is beyond the size of the monitor. Autocad seems to want keep the object the same size without letting you zoom to, say, snap to a point. The dimensions and text stays in the same place. This is difficult if you are trying to snap to a point in a busy drawing / model.

Any ideas?

Why not switch to Model Space and do your dimensioning?

I just tried on my setup. No problems zooming in on a busy drawing for dimension snap. I'm using R2004. I hate model space dimensioning.

IFRs,

ok, can you try something for me? Have a paperspace sheet with a number of viewports of a selected 3D item. Go to plot, choose PDF writer (or similar), select a window covering the view ports, do a preview then cancel out of the plot screen.

Now zoom in and out of each of the viewports. Anything odd happening?
