Zoom object zooming out too far
Folks hope you can help.
I've downloaded an eval of 2017. I haven't needed to use CAD since R14 (that's R14 not 2014 BTW)
Anyway I'm using Zoom Object and it's not working as described.
If I select an object (piece of text for example) and then Zoom Object instead of zooming in on that object and filling the display I'm roughly over the object and have a window width of 950m approx.
It doesn't matter what object is selected.
Any clues?

Restart AutoCAD, create a new drawing, draw just one line (0,0 to 10,10), then again run _ZOOM _OBJECT and select that line ... same issue?
If not (what I expect) it seems to be drawing specific, therefor please upload the drawing where this happens and mark the object that has that problem.
Standard questions:
- you do have installed the latest AutoCAD service packs?
- you do have tried that with disabled hardware acceleration (command _GRAPHICSCONFIG)?

You are correct. A new drawing doesn't exhibit this issue.
However the drawing is subject to NDA so I can't upload it. BTW all objects exhibit this issue described, no matter what. Block, text, polyline etc.
I will check for service packs and disable hardware acceleration to see if they have any affect.

Hi,
>> However the drawing is subject to NDA so I can't upload it
Open your drawing, create a new drawing parallel to it, use copy & paste to get the critical object to the new drawing.
If that works then you can copy all your geometry to a new drawing to get it "healed".
If that shows the same issue (and it's just a simple text) you can upload this new drawing as it does not contain critical things ![]()
Always worth to try:
run command _AUDIT, see if it finds errors in the drawings database, if so repair them, close and reopen the drawing.

An audit showed one minor issue.
Service pack and hardware acceleration showed no change.
I will try the copy and paste into a new to see if that works.
Thanks for the assistance.

Hi awilliams55ZY3,
Follow the below mentioned.
1) Apply the command UCS => World and then PLAN => Current.
2) Select all object by using (Ctrl.+A) and deselect the required design by using "Shift" key and press the 'Delete' key
Hope it work

Thanks folks however, I'm calling it.
The drawing is too poisoned to function.
All suggestions provided had nil effect.
I tried -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD or AECTOACAD as there were Proxy objects to see if that was the problem but to no avail.
I suppose I could go element by element and layer by layer but there are too many drawings for this to be viable.
Zoom object works but not for my drawings.

Thanks for the continued interest but no I can't supply the CAD files, the drawings are subject to a Non-disclosure agreement.

I had the same issue which i fixed by lowering down the scale of all the objects. My original scale was 1000x times bigger than usual, so i lowered it down to 1/1000 and now the zoom-object works properly. Hope this can help.

You should always draw everything at 1:1. Never draw anything at a scale. It only causes problems and confusion.

I FOUND A SOLUTION TO THIS:
USE UCS COMMAND: TYPE 'V' FOR VIEW, AND HIT ENTER
THEN TYPE 'PLAN' COMMAND: THEN TYPE 'W' FOR WORLD, AND HIT ENTER.
ZOOM SHOULD NOW WORK NORMALLY WHEN YOU ZOOM ON OBJECTS.
