Help! Nothing in my FCW will display

Royal Scribe

I've been mapping a floorplan using CA105 Dracula Dossier. I'm not sure what I hit, but I think I was zooming in to place a window, and all of a sudden everything on the screen disappeared. I tried zooming extents. I tried "Show All" on both sheets and layers. I tried closing and reopening the file. I tried rebooting my computer.

Interestingly enough, I can print a JPG of the map that shows everything -- and the JPG export also properly hides things if I hide certain sheets, and shows or doesn't show sheet effects if I turn them on or off.

Here's the FCW:

And here's a JPG exported after all of this started (with Grid and Bitmap sheets hidden, and sheet effects turned on):

This problem seems to be specific to this file. I have a "Floor 0" sheet that just has the outer walls and outdoor landscape (things that would be common to all four floors I'm mapping). That FCW doesn't have the same problems. Here is that file, too, in case it's helpful.

Something has happened that corrupted the current coordinates, so when zooming, it causes CC3+ to multiply numbers with illegal values, which won't work very well unfortunately.

The easy way to fix it is to just do a View -> Zooms -> To all Text, then pick any text entry in your map. That puts you back into proper coordinates, and zooms should now work fine.

Holy smokes, that worked. I never would have considered that. Thank you!

Wow that was amazing Monsen.
