| I'm running AutoCAD 2007 and I am making a housplan. The problem is that the lines are too big on the screen, I can't fit 20 feet in on the screen. The units are set to architectural. How do I make the lines smaller so that I can fit the whole plan on the screen. |

Maybe you should change limits of your drawing. Have you used Zoom/all command? ------------- Ing Arben.Allaraj http://cad-drafting-corner.blogspot.com |

you can use the zoom extents icon or you can use Command line> Z return A Return this will zoom you out to show all you have in the drawing. Or if it still keeps you from seeing your whole drawing try doing a Regenall. ------------- Engineering Manufacturing Medical Cables/Adjunct Instructor Engineering Graphics/Engineering Computations and Careers msplcdykee69@yahoo.com Shawn |

Draw a line of maximum dimesnsion you desire. Then use command Zoom- All or Zoom-Extent. After that you should be able to work fine. ORAs suggested earlier change the limit of drawing and then use command Zoom - All.
