Question
Hello,
I am working on a drawing of a floor plan that is very large, a hospital, and opened a viewport in the sheet tab. I then windowed a section in the model space and pasted it into a viewport in paper space. While zoomed in on some HVAC equipment I edited some geometry, but when I picked 'ZOOM PREVIOUS', I was stuck in the zoomed display. I tried "ZOOM ALL' and 'ZOOM EXTENTS' but nothing works. I can't find the edge of the viewport to double click in paper space, either.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Answer
Hi John, most likely your in model space while in paper space. You might have to rescale your current view using

zoom
1/1xp (for 1:1 scale)

while you're in this paper/model space mode. You can use other scale such as 1/2xp for 1/2 scale & so on. Type 'ps' to re-enter back to paper space. Hope this helps, let me know!
