    Default XCLIP and ZOOM EXTENTS.

    I've been using XCLIP for yonks - very handy tool - but noticed this past week that on a particular set of drawings we're working on on, after I've clipped the xrefs, ZOOM EXTENTS is now including something at 0,0,0? I've tried all the past tricks (LIST ALL, DESELECT what's visible, then ERASE previous, etc. but it seems to be remembering something from one (possibly all) of the xrefs? And each XREF has been checked - nothing at 0,0,0, nothing FROZEN, HIDDEN, everything purged - drgs are as clean as a whistle...

    Driving me mad as whenever I change UCS and type PLAN to change to different elevations, it zooms to EXTENTS....

    Using Autocad 2022.1 with all the updates, etc. on Win10.

    Does unloading all of the XREFs result in the same behavior?

    No. Then it zooms to just what is left in the drawing.

    Reload each XREF one at a time to see the offending reference. Fix that one. If they are all that way, hmmm...

    Hmm indeed. Found the culprit (X-Grids) but nothing to be found. Detached it from the drawing & reloaded without clipping - everything perfect. So I redid XCLIP for X-Grids (other xrefs remain clipped as nothing wrong) with a new boundary - hey presto! Not sure what I could've used as the original clipping boundary, but obviously "wasn't my fault..."

    Thanks for the assist!
