    Hi folks:)

    I have a small problem with zooming out... for example i have working
    area from -400,-400 to 400,400 ... and autocad stops zooming out when
    reaches this 'scale' (shows whole scene) ... how to adjust size of
    working area to for example -1000,-1000 / 1000,1000 ? I need this to
    draw bigger than 400 units object when I draw in centimeters.

    Thanks in advance,
    Pawel

    HiHo;
    You might put a point at -1000,-1000 and 1000,1000
    then zoom extents.

    Although I don't think anybody ever uses it anymore, you can also use
    the command called (surprise, surprise) 'limits'.
    It was a big thing amongst the 'instructors' at 'college' hundreds of
    years ago when I was learning CAD - but even back then just drawing a
    really big object and then deleting seemed much simpler - and
    templates are/were easier still!

    Easy, just zoom by a factor eg 0.25x.
