ACAD Drawing Limits

Post by R.S. Crispin » Wed Dec 04, 2002 10:57 am

Recently I wrote a part file in .dwg format with a reference of 0,0 from CAD2002. Saved file to disk and gave it to client. The .dwg opened fine but the client could not create any new entities in the drawing. After some discussion, I asked them to check the drawing limits. The drawing limits had been set to 0,0. I had them turn off drawing limits and all was well. Can someome tell me how to prevent this.

I've been through this very thing and the answer is you can only turn the limits off after opening it in Acad as far as I know.

Limits OFF

Try setting the Limits to OFF in a template drawing. Then when you start a new job and use that template drawing the limits will default to off. The DWG file should then have the limits off as well by default.
