    Default Zoom Extents not finding extents.

    We are on 2009 SP2 and this drawing only shows a small window of the actual entities when we do a zoom Extents. I have Wblocked it, purged it, drawn overly long lines, regened, it still does not show the full extents of the drawn lines etc.
    Anyone have any ideas??

    When I opened the drawing you are in paper space with a viewport active but you are zoomed in on the viewport so you cannot see the whole thing. Does that make sense? Besides that everything seems to be working fine for me, I can zoom extents in paper space and model space.

    Based on the saved state of the file it looks like you are in paperspace with an active modelspace viewport.

    Type VPMAX then do your zoom extents. That should take care of it.

    Thank you, I feel very foolish, I had my model/layout tabs off and did not even think of that.

    That's why modelspace = black background, paperspace = white background was a good idea.

    I just leave the ucsicon on (size 5) white in modelspace, blue in paperspace, plus the ucsicon looks different in both
