As long as we're having such a good dialog, here is another one. I have a very large assembly which is too large to fit on one page and still see the building details. I can zoom in and the assembly simply hangs off the edges of the page. The (...) (15 years ago, 27-Oct-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) OK, here goes. When an assembly is too large to fit on the page, LPub crops the image. When one drags the assembly image to another position LPub does not redraw the image. See: (URL) (15 years ago, 4-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) models, so it is quite common for the assembly not to fit on the page. The workaround I have used so far is to make my own custom assembly images from LView and them manually put them in the final PDF file. That's what I did (URL) here>. Eric (15 years ago, 4-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) LPub knows what parts are added at each step. LPub could find the min/max locations of all parts added and have the look at coordinate be (min_x+max_x)/2, (min_y+max_y)/2, (min_z+max_z)/2. This would give a general idea of where to look. One (...) (15 years ago, 7-Dec-09, to lugnet.cad)
