Re: drawing only half visible

[othello159]

I have a drawing of a wheel centered around the base point.
I can only see the wheel at a very small scale, if I enlargen it it
moves off the screen and there is no way for me to move it into the
visible portion of the screen.
There are no 'sliders' for vertical and horizontal movement on my screen.

What to do??

Uwe - sorry to see that no-one seems to have responded to your
plight. I was offline for a while when your query was posted and
assumed someone would get back to you while I was away.

One very quick way to get a full-screen view of any small area in a
CADintosh window is to hold down the "alt" key (the cursor will
change to an X with arrowheads on it) and then drag across the area
you want to see full-screen.

There will be no sliders visible if the objects on the drawing do not
extend beyond the edges of the current window - but they should
appear once you zoom in enough that parts of the object can no longer
be seen.

I wonder if your window has somehow become too big for your screen?
Have you tried using the green button at the top left of the window
to switch window size?

Actually, this sounds like TurboCAD MAC - it does not have any
sliders on the borders of its windows (very disturbing at first, and
the only Mac application I can think of which behaves so) but you're
talking about CADintosh because this is the CADintosh group, right?

Hope this is of some help and not too late!
