    Default AutoCAD LT - Drawing limits changing

    We are running AutoCAD LT R2019.
    I have an instance where I have set drawing limits (on my dwg template - hence all my drawings). Each file contains several tabs for dwg pages, where everything is drawn in the "Model Space" view, and then each tab has a title block with the view to each page. (I hope that made sense...) When some people open the file, for whatever reason, the limits change on the first tab. For instance, the limits for each tab is set to 0,0/35,24. Somebody else has worked on this file, and now I open it again, and the limits have changed - only on the first tab - to -1.5675,-0.6545/37.1585,24.4035. This person swears they didn't do anything but open the file, do a couple of basic changes, save it and close it. Didn't do anything with the limit settings. This happens periodically (ie, not on every drawing this person opens). Any suggestions as to why this is happening?

    Default Re: AutoCAD LT - Drawing limits changing

    My first *guess* would be that these different users are pointed to different (local) paths for the printers, and the different printers have different margins set for the same sheet size, and that the limits in the layout are somehow affected by the margins of the sheet?

    Since it's LT, there isn't any startup lisp executing that could be changing it.

    Are the changes consistent (in other words, it changes for user A, not for user B, etc.)?

    I don't have LT in front of me to check.

    We have 4 users, all using the same drawing template. All using the same network printers. I know it happens (and I stress *occasionally*-not all the time) with 2 of the users.
