Fit view issue
Fit view issue
(OP)
Hello,
It seems the command "Fit“ to fit the contents of a view to the screen works differently for different features. For example, if the part consists of an extrude feature, the Fit command works perfectly. However, if the part contains a Through Curves feature (with Preserve Shape unchecked), the Fit command will zoom out more (include more blank space in the view), even if the Through Curves and Extrude feature look EXACTLY the same. This is preventing me from creating a layout with several views and using the Fit All command to fit all the contents. The part in the views is too small with too much blank space.
The attached image shows what the test feature looks like. The top image shows the Extrude feature with the Fit command. The bottom image shows the Through Curves feature and the Fit command. Both top and bottom image has the fit percentage at 100%. As you can see, the model in the bottom view is much smaller (and clearly smaller than 100%). What should be done to rectify this?

RE: Fit view issue
What is it you try to accomplish with the layout ?
Can't you zoom in on the lower example ?

RE: Fit view issue
The reason this is causing a headache is because I need to create a 9-view layout. With so many views on the screen it's vital that each view is zoomed in as much as possible. That's why I do a Fit All with the Fit Percentage set to 100%. But because the Fit view command fails if the model contains a Through Curves feature, the views of the model are zoomed too far out.
