Unwanted displacement of the layout frames

Matador264 — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 00:33:36 GMT

Hello,

When working in the layouts, the workspaces all seem to have moved very far away from the model. The 3D model hasn't moved, but the 89 layouts don't frame at all what they should. After checking, it seems that they have all undergone the same translation.
How did this happen and how can we restore the situation without having to do a lot of time-consuming handwork?

Thanks for the help

Operating system used: Windows

Hello,

Did you save your view in View Map with the "current zoom" settings and the "Ignore zoom and rotation when opening the view" closed? Like above:

And then, did you placed this view on layout?

Maybe the error is that you're putting the view without current zoom and then the layout extends the view,. Or even you're putting the view in the layout some view of "Project Map" and not "View Map"

Hope that helped

The view comes from the "View map" and these are the settings related to the view on the layout:

I am not sure to understand how the zooming settings could impact the way the source view moves within the frame in the layout. Could you develop?

Also the layout were in place for weeks before our issue and we know that before the translation occur the only change that have been made in the view settings was the dimensioning (from 2. cm (0) to 3.cm (0.0))

It is important that the "Ignore zoom and rotation" is closed, because some change, even a small one, could modify the zoom that you saved in "Zoomed Area". Try to open all views and close this checking, and "ok".

Then check the layouts and tell/show me, please. I only see that resolution.

If it's still unchecked, I'd also suggest to Use Drawing’s internal origin as anchor in your drawing settings in your layout

Probably one of your suggestion would have worked if I had set these settings before the translation. Now, even if I modify these settings it doesn't change anything ...
