Zoom Extents on Next or Previous Drawing

Have you ever been using the Next or Previous drawing button to peruse through your drawing set in AutoCAD Electrical and come across a bunch of sheets that are zoomed in on a specific area?  Then you need to zoom out just to see if it is the sheet you really want to work on?  If you have the same pet peve as I do when it comes to this we can fix it.  It all comes down to one line in the environment (WD.ENV) file in your AeData Directory. 

The Path:

C:\Documents and Settings\{UserName}\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD Electrical 2006\R16.2\enu\Support\AeData\WD.ENV

Note: {UserName} = your windows login name

The Steps:

1. Open the WD.ENV file with notedpad. (right click on the file and click on Open With)
2. Scroll down in Notepad until you find the line *WD_OPEN_DWG, etc.... (Note the * might not be there)
3. If the * is there, remove it, if not move to step 4.
4. type in (command "_.ZOOM" "_E") after the WD_OPEN_DWG,
5. the entire line should read as follows.
6. WD_OPEN_DWG,(command "_.ZOOM" "_E")

Now whenever a user uses the "Next" or "Previous" button the drawing will open, then zoom extents.

Until Next Time.
