Zoom Extents on Exit

[Wish List System]

Summary: I wish that there was an option to have a drawing Zoom Extents on Exit.

Description: I wish that there was an option to have a drawing Zoom Extents on Exit. So when you exit you'd have the option, by default or by individual drawing, to have the drawing Zoom Extents in either model space, layout space, or both. That way, when you open or search for a drawing you get the full picture.

seems like the easy way to handle that would be to redefine the CLOSE command to include a Zoom E, then a save -- or teach your users. BUT --There are many many times that would not make sense, and I would not want to have an extra couple of clicks on exit or wait for a automatic save when I'n not changing anything in the dwg -- just looking or cooying info out of it

I'm with cadtag on this (mostly) - The simplest, per-drawing solution, is to just create yourself a new CUI Macro that performs a zoom extents + save + close, and add that Macro to your QAT, Menu, Toolbar, or Ribbon as you see fit.

I agree. There are about 50,000 more useful things I want Autodesk to add/fix instead of something like this that I can do using autolisp or a menu macro.
