Problem File

[donste2005]

Hi All,

Wow I have a problem file, I think it is corrupted or something.  When I zoom in close it jerks back and forth, like some kind of snap is on or something, I've looked at all the different snaps and shut then mostly all of.  Also, I can't zoom in sometimes, I have to restart AutoCAD a lot.  Full disclosure I do have a SpaceNavigator, so I am wondering how that plays into it, although all the experiments I've done point to this particular file.  I have heard that you can create a new file and import or copy your old stuff into it?

Thanks,

Don

Thanks Rushabh,

That seems to have helped overall, but I still have one issue; I can't zoom with the scroll wheel in the model, it scrolls fine in paper space, but in the model it's not zoom scrolling, it pans fine but no zoom, have you run into that?
