When opening a part, the part is off the screen.

I have multiple parts (all similar to the attached) that when I open them, the screen is blank.  I have to "zoom to fit" to see the part.  This does not happen most of the time on other parts. 

 

What I have already tried:

 

1. Checked each sketch for geometry that might be "out-in-space"

2. Checked each block for geometry that might be "out-in-space"

3. Zoomed in, then save, close, and reopen.

4. Restarted Inventor

 

For Reference:

The thumbnail image in Vault shows the part.

I saved the part as an IGES file and opened it in SW.  Upon opening, it zoomed to fit the screen.  When I closed and reopened, it again was full screen.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Todd

You can also set the view however you would like it to be and then right click on the View Cube and Set Current View as Home Position.

Isn't there a setting somewhere in Application Option so it works "globally" ?

Seems I recall doing it before but it was eons ago.

 

Thanks,
