Hi Duncan,
I'm sorry that you're having problems with AutoCAD. Unfortunately, I
don't think that I have enough information here to figure out where the
problems lie. If you can help me by supplying any more information I'll
be glad to investigate further.
For instance, I would be interested in the following:
* Do the problems occur on many drawings or only one a particular one?
* What kind of a zoom are you doing? (In other words, exactly what
commands do you issue?) Are you zooming in one viewport?
* What value did you enter for rotation and which pen thicknesses did
you change? To what value? I tried a couple of different
combinations but couldn't get AutoCAD to die.
Thanks for any help you can add,
Dorothy Bowe
