Zoomed too far out - Grid has gone missing even though grid is on

I accidentally zoomed too far out and the adaptive zoom must've messed the grid up or something. Either way, the grid spaces are now massive and don't shrink down back to the size of my normal, person sized model. I tried to mess around in grid settings but now the grid is just completely gone altogether. (1st file is screenshot when zoomed to extents, 2nd is grid settings and 3rd is when zoomed out a lot.)

Thanks but I've already looked at this article. The spacing is set to the default 10 as it is in the image I've included but the grid is still all messed up.

Easiest fix might be to copy your geometry to a new drawing if it's just the one drawing which is affected. Is that an option?

Restart AutoCAD then open this file again: problem gone?

I've tried that but for some reason the only thing that will copy over to another drawing is text. I did manage to copy the drawing over once but it was ridiculously small compared to the rest of the drawing, despite showing regular dimensions when I measured it.

Share your DWG file and let us see your work first hand: let us see what you see for ourselves.

This sounds like a big red flag- can you post the two drawings so we can look at the settings and compare?

Here's the file. Please excuse the dumb file name, I didn't name it. If you zoom to extents you can see the drawing. As I said before, the grid is completely gone now even though it is turned on. I'm not sure if this is just an issue with my settings or with my model so please let me know what you find.

I didn't save the other drawing, only the one with the model I need in it as the other one I made was completely empty and just to test out what was wrong. I've attached the original DWG file to pendean's reply in this thread.

Hi,

 

looking to your drawing shows this:

20190108_232434.png

 

Coordinates like 10^59 is far to high for CAD double precision calculation.


You can return to "normal" coordinates by entering these lines in the command line

_ZOOM<ENTER>

_EXTENTS<ENTER>

 

Then you are back to normal CAD-live 😉

 

[EDIT]Sorry, zooming to extents is wrong as the model is aready much too large[/EDIT]

Set UCS and PLAN commands to WORLD in your EDU file: look up usage in HELP, type them if needed.

Was your teacher not able to help you with your task?

Hi,

 

sorry for my first post, this file is really strange as even coordinate input like the above zoom coordinates are rejected as incorrect, also a line from 0,0 to 100,100 returns the message that a line with length 0 was created anywhere at the 10^59 coordinates.

What I have done and that worked:

 

After ZOOM EXTENTS I selected the objects and was able to erase them

Then I used _UCS _WORLD (to set the UCS to world)

Command _LIMITS _OFF (to make sure coordinate input is not limited to limits

Then I used PAN to bring the coordinate axis symbol to the center of the screen and used ZOOM WINDOW with a very small rectangle around the origin of the coordinate axis symbol ... until the coordinate display in the status line show "normal" values.

Hi,

 

@pendean

I need a teacher too, because I first did ZOOM EXTENTS and got the high coordinates (not used UCS W first) 😉

Thanks Alfred, I've got the grid back but I'm not entirely sure what to do with my massive model now. I believe that is detailed in the last part of your solution but I'm not quite sure how to do that last part.

Please follow @pendean's suggestion, works much better than my suggestion!

This solution has brought the grid back but unfortunately, it's still really small compared to my model as it is in your screenshot. Is there anything that can be done about this? Thanks for all your help pendean.

Set your GRIDDISPLAY to 3

 

and change your LIMITS to higher coordinates, or set it off.

and disable LIMCHECK (if you don't know why it is on in your drawing)
