In Group Manager I can select my group and then click highlight, but can't see the highlighted entities on screen. If I know where the group is I can zoom in on it and then when I select and highlight the group I can make out the highlighted entities. But its a large drawing (area wise) and I don't know where the groups are.
I've tried various background colors but that didn't work. Quick search and filter didn't bring anything either. Changing the value of the system variable GROUPDISPLAYMODE didn't work.
I have table, several chairs and some glasses and plates on table. I want to group them and instance that group, hundred of times. Problem is that I do not have materials implemented and I will not until client is satisfied with arrangement. I have problems later, even using many scripts I found, to add material to all instances. Only way is to select one by one.
Other thing is that there might be new objects added into set, so best way would be to add to master group and that will be added in instances of that group automatically, but that does not work with Maya.
In AutoCad 2012, when I double click my mouse and zoom extents the UCS changes to about 20 degrees off of the default vert/horz cardinal directions planes. If I change my UCS back to world it is all good again, although when I zoom extents it goes back to the 20 degrees off cardinal planes.
I don't normally use a UCS other than the default, so it is probably a stupid question, although how do I stop it from doing this?
I am using AutoCAD 2002 Mechanical at work and the mouse wheel is set to do zooming in and out. The finger I use on the wheel is beginning to hurt as I zoom a lot so I would like to be able to zoom with the up and down arrow keys on my keyboard instead. Is this possible?
I would also like to know if it is possible to set up panning in all directions with the four arrow keys instead of pushing down the mouse wheel and moving the mouse.
If in Paper Space, entering into the viewport to zoom to a specific scale (factor), what is the easiest way to make sure I am using the correct scale factor?
ie a calculation? for example say I wanted a scale of 1:20 or 1:100?
I inserted our company logo and placed It properly in our title block. But when I zoom in with the mouse wheel the logo gets smaller in the border. When I zoom out it increases bigger than the border.
I'm having an issue with AutoCAD 2010 at a new job. When zooming in all the lines distort, as if I need to change from a perspective view to a straight on view. What is the setting to change this? I've tried changing me perspective view, but that just throws me into a perspective view, which is what I don't want.
On certain drawings, when I double-click in viewports that aren't locked they will zoom to extents, even when they have been set up to a certain scale.
The annoying thing is, not only does it zoom the selected viewport, it zooms every other unlocked viewport in the layout.
Does that make sense? and more importantly, how do I stop it from doing this?
Is it necessary to have AutoCAD remember the "zooms" when you hit "undo"? Is there a setting that will allow AutoCAd to not undo "zooms" when I hit "undo"?
I have a vector PDF. And when i view it, i notice that some of the lines in it, chnage lineweight when i zoom in and out between 0% and 125%
Once i get past that 125% zoom, it seems to rectify whatever issue.
Also worthy of note there is no lines on top of lines in the PDF yet the linewieght issue consistently seems to only affect the line for a certain distance. Always in the same place.
When I pan around a drawing by holding down the scroll wheel of the mouse button, I sometimes pan quite slowly, AutoCAD decides to zoom to extents. I know I have not double clicked the scroll wheel.
I've got a problem with a title panel that we've created. We're using a new type font - VAGRounded-Thin - however when in paper space and we zoom in and out the text font enlarges or reduces as we scroll in and out with the mouse wheel.It's still coming out fine when printed [pdf and hardcopy] it's just on the screen.
My C3D 2013 just started doing this last week... I first noticed that it would zoom to extents when I operated the center mouse button for panning. It was random, about 1 out of every 15 to 20 pans using the center button.
But then I noticed that it's not just the panning. It will randomly zoom to extents when I type in a command. Earlier today, it did it when I did a REGEN, then again when I did a MAPWSPACE.
The other notable thing is that there is no "zoom" command anywhere in the command history when this occurs.
Besides changing the mice, I also tried rebooting and running a repair on C3D. I have Win7-64.
The problem seems to coincide with when I started using Autodesk 360. Not saying it's related, but it's fishy.
Whenever I zoom out in a drawing in Civil 3D with surface contours, some of the contours disappear. I imagine this is a result from a system variable setting but could not find it.
I tried searching for "Slow scroll" and found one topic about scrolling through layers, but not scrolling through the drawing in general.
Problem: When using the mouse to scroll through a drawing with an attached pdf underlay, the motion suddenly gets really choppy, and slow. The PDF is about 3.5 Mb. Its very annoying knowing that my computer should be able to handle it and then some.

I have a county-wide SID image file that I've attached to a street line drawing. It was working fine until this morning. Now, when I zoom in the image (all or most of it) goes completely black. Zooming into different areas of the image results in either the image being visible or blacked out...no real rhyme or reason. Of course, the area I need to address right now is entirely blacked out.
Examples attached: same scale, image is visible but then I pan to the right and it goes black....
how to keep the current zoom scale in (Model) viewport AS IS..the problem is, when i click the other of viewport, the other view zooms to drawing extent..
I am having a lag problem when quickly zooming in or using the selection window quickly. When quickly picking a window from left to right the first pick point lags and I would select some thing else. Iam using Cad 2012. Is there a command setting that has changed from Cad 2011 to 2012 ??
We use wheel zoom, and you can zoom out forever, but zooming in STOPS once the view area hits the outside of the drawing/outer lines in plan view, model space.
Made few viewports (3d) in paperspace, set scale & locked. Zoom in and out from paperspace is fine, scale in the viewports stay as set until after I double-click inside the viewport to check or alter things and return to paperspace.
Now when zooming in from paperspace, subjects inside the viewport keep enlarging (not scale increase) and things go out of space ...zooming out everything come back to place. This makes doing other task very difficult.
while currently working with autocad architecture 2014, i found dark shadows while zooming in and also the zooming isn't smooth, however there was not such problem while i worked with much heavier file. Also the model becomes dark sometimes while zooming (not invisible, but as if the lights are switched off) ..cadtutor.PNG
Is it possible to exclude zooming from the UNDO function? Going through undos is mostly pretty annoying "back-worth"-jumping, when working with a scroll mouse.
edit: Forgot to mention that I'm currently using AutoCAD LT 2000i. And upgrading to LT 2005 in very near future.
Having problems with my 3d viewMy pc video card crashed yesterday and restored it as well but all of a sudden my 3d got screwed... zooming in and out makes all the lines dotted....
I already restarted my pc yet the problem still there, now i dont know if my cad is the problem or the pc, but i tried to render and its ok, only the views im having problems with.Another is when i edit block, zooming in and out... i see multiple lines... ?
Lets say you have a polyline snapped perpendicular to an acr and you start zooming in they tend to separate. In the past a simple regen would magically make them display as intersecting lines (no gap or overlap). Right now the regen isn't working and I can't figure out why or what changed. I tried changing the VIEWRES but that didn't seem to work. What else could it be? I don't even have to zoom in that far to notice the overlap.

My laptop died recently and I had to get a new one then reinstall my AutoCAD 2010 software. Trouble is the mouse wheel no longer zooms or, when held down, pans any more. I have spent the last couple of hours trying to sort this but to no avail - nothing happens when I use the mousewheel at all. SO frustrating as I use this all the time!
I run Windows 7 Pro OS and the mouse is a fairly basic HP model with two buttons and a wheel. (maybe I need to upgrade the thing...!)
