Hello,
How does one go about sizing the "virtual" drawing views.
I had to re-insert some parts into a drawng. Due to the scale
differences, instead of being slightly bigger than the part view, the
drawing views are larger than the "paper". Selecting to "zoom extents"
the drawing results in a drawing that only fills up 1/2 the available
screen. Double clicking the drawing shows the "extents" of the drawing
view is the reason the zoom function doesn't work. Makes selecting
specific views difficult as they overlap "views" keep interfering.
Can only "edit drawing" if I click on a small corner of the drawing
that doesn't contain overlapping views. I've can't recall ever having
this problem so I don't even know where to look.

Len,
Try select the offending view. In the Property Manager, under Scale,
select Use Custom Scale
You may have data in the part file located some distance from the part
features. You may also have the part data located some distance from the
part's origin, possibly with some data at the origin as well (common in
auto industry tranlations).
I've also seen this happen when you chop the end off a part. E.g. cut a
10 foot bar (part origin in the middle) in half to 5 feet (part origin at
the end). View extents of the 5-foot part will include the chunk that you
cut off.
Either way, it sounds like the view is including some data located some
distance from the part that you may or may not be aware of which results
in an abnormally large drawing view extents.
Hope this helps
.
