A scale error leads to bad behavior?
A scale error leads to bad behavior?
(OP)
Howdy all,
So I detailed a section view and under the section view it has the secion label A-A. I wanted to put my part number on there so I opended the text box hit return and put my part number in which was something like 987654-3. My drawing disappears and inplace of my part number is says "SCALE 987654:3" Not what I wanted but no big deal. I reenter the scale correctly as 4:1 and the drawing pops back to where it should be. No harm no foul ... except when I zoom to fit (f normally) it zooms so my drawing is small spec way off in the distance. Is there an easy fix for this? I checked the scale for the part and it's still 4:1.
Thanks,

Remember, first define the problem, then solve it.

I found it by hitting f to zoom to fit, then did a select and made the biggest select box I could that didn't include the main part of the drawing. I ended up with a note selected and did a zoom to select and it brought me right to the section label that was lost in space. Deleted it and zoom to fit worked like it should.
