AutoCAD Civil 3D

[#1]

I'm running 2013 C3D and have a quirk that my drawings zoom out when I first open the file.  I'm not even sure what they are zooming out to as it is not 'Extents'.  I had the same issue in 2012 but I thought I would see if anyone has figured this out.

Thanks!

perhaps someone added a line in your acaddoc.lsp file?

[#3]

I am an individual user and I've never even heard of that .lsp routine.  What does it do?

Thanks,

*Update*

I think this may actually be a bug.  I've figured out that this also happens when you change tabs between paper space and model space..  The view isn't zooming out, but rather it is going to the incorrect location.  I have a DView twist set, and my UCS set to view.  Under these conditions the opening view will go to the location the window would be if it did not have the Twist set.  If I change my UCS to World and switch between tabs it works without a problem.

Where's my can of Raid?

One of the many reasons to stay away from any UCS in Civil 3D. I was always told by our reseller and trainers to avoid the USC and only use DView Twist.

Thanks.   How do you get text / labels to be horizontal then?  Labels in paperspace?

[#7]

For those that aren't Civil labels or notes I use Mtext and either select the R(otate) option or use the attached lisp that automatically grabs the Viewtwist. Ofcourse there is the TORIENT command if you have to align it after the fact.

We don't do any (almost) labeling in Paperspace. Just viewport and titleblock.

Is it possible that the system variable UCSFOLLOW id set to something other than 0?

For the OP The ACADDOC.lsp file can be used to automatically load other lisp files and issue commands at startup

[#9]

UCSFOLLOW is set to 0

Thanks,

If you examine your command line history does it give you any clue?
