CATIA V5 - R18 through R21 - Fit-All-In Zooms too small
CATIA V5 - R18 through R21 - Fit-All-In Zooms too small
(OP)
When I try to zoom to the extents of my model I get a lot of empty space around it. I can manually zoom (zoom area) and still see the whole model but bigger - which is what I expect when I do a "zoom all" (Fit All In). Is something limiting the zoom to 60% of the screen real estate (guesstimate percentage)
Thanks,
Jeff

If you don't see anything, try using an Outside Trap to select the extra geometry.

try to select by trap in the empty space until you catch anything... or put the geometry you see in no show then fit all in again... untill you see something

I would think there is something there too, but I can't find it and I have this problem with just about every part or product I load. I can't use cameras because I am trying to create a generic script that will properly full zoom any document I am working with. Maybe there is a hidden variable somewhere that can be set?
(Grasping at straws here...)

Since ultimately I am creating an image file and I am just trying to get rid of the "white space" around the file, I've decided to use "ImageMagick\convert.exe -trim +repage" to accomplish what I want using a different method.
Thanks,

RE: CATIA V5 - R18 through R21 - Fit-All-In Zooms too small
put everything in show and let say you know the geometry is around the origin of the file.
Do a Fit All In
Origin goes on one side of the screen
Make a trap and select the area around the geometry near the origin.
Change selection to no show
do a Fit All In
case 1: the zoom does not change and you don't see much on your screen.
you still have some element in show away from each other, use Search (on visible element) to find them or look at your tree.
case 2: the zoom does change and now you focus on some tiny elements
well in this case you're looking at what you search.
Please help us understand. Make sure all element are pickable.
Also check Tools/Option/General/Display // Performance : level of detail = 0, Pixel Culling = 0

I made a sketch of a rectangle similar to yours (almost full width of my screen) and fit all in did the same. This is normal behaviour. All of my parts have about this much space when fit all in'd.
I cannot find a setting for it in options. I know NX has this adjustability.
I don't think I'd want my geometry zoomed up to the edges anyway. That's where my toolbars are.
