    Cool AutoCAD v14 question

    I have been working on a project for months now, trying various ideas in AutoCAD prior to making the parts from aluminum. Nothing is 3D, and no solid surfaces, as I never learned how to do that in college back in 1982! Most of my CAD time is between 10PM and 2AM, so my eyes were elsewhere

    The problem is when i zoom to extents, everything disappears into a pixel! I must have offset something in one of the many layers without a decimal point, as if it were 10,000 inches!

    How in the world to I find the glitch and delete it?
    Is there a way to tell which layer is the owner of the glitch?

    Please help!

    You can turn off/hide each layer in turn then zoom extents to find the offending layer.
    If it doesn't zoom to a pixel then that is the layer.

    Try selecting all with all layers on and then unselecting what you want to keep and deleting the remaining data that your unsure of from the drawing. Save your drawing 1st of course

    I fixed it!

    Under Files, Drawing Utilities, there is a thing called Audit!
    When activated, it checked the entire drawing for errors, and found "1" then fixed it!
    Now the Zoom Extents works again!

    I really did not want to re enter the whole file!
    Thanks,
