UAGH!!! i don't know how to really describe this - so please bear w/ me...when i want to zoom in, it's like the dwg won't come closer. it will, but it disappears, or the void space goes totally blank- at least half of it. i don't know wot is going on, or how to fix it. i'm done w/ the design, but i still need to throw on dimensions, and then take some camera shots, maybe even a tour- but i can't get close enuf to see the structure.

i know that didn't make any sense- but my problem doesn't....gggrrrr

I guess you are using ZOOMEXTENTS - It might not be disappering but it extends your view. Try ZOOMEXTENTS then Control + A (select all) then you will see grips which is where your drawing at. If you Zoom In on that grips and did not see anything try LAYTHW or LAYON. Now if everything is showing it is time that you fixed your drawing by Deleting some unnecesarry lines or moving it closer to each other. Also, Dimensioning Radius of an Arc will extend to the Center of the Raduis when using ZOOMEXTENTS.
