Hi all,
This is the first time this has happened to me, at least to this extent. I'm drawing
my bld'g elevation in model space (r14) and do a zoom extents and the view I get
is not truly zoom extents. I zoom out to as far as I can see my model and erase all
around for any entities I can't see and I check my layers to make sure there are none
that are frozen or off or locked and still can't get a zoom extents! Any ideas??
TIA

check where your basepoint is if it is too far from 0,0 I have had problems with that.

I've had that happen, but ...I'm trying to remember what it was...
Check your Limits
...You've already checked for entities on frozen or layers that have been turned off, eh? Uhh....
You can try WBlocking out what you need into a new dwg and that should solve it...

there may be a problem with elements you can't see. try this:
first make sure all layers are thawed and on, at the command prompt issue the SELECT command and when asked to select objects enter(ssget"X") that will select every element in the database.
then enter an R for remove and put a window around everything you can see and press enter. you now have a selection set of those elements you can't see that you may either list or erase (don't worry about elements in other "spaces").
