Using an AutoCAD DWG in gINT as a Basemap

Question

I have imported a DWG into gINT under INPUT/SITE MAP and it looks fine, see attached file: INPUT_SITEMAP. When using the file in OUTPUT/FENCES/SITE LAYOUT, it is zoomed out as shown in the attached image: OUTPUT_FENCES_SITE-LAYOUT. Have you ever seen this problem and do you know how to fix it?

Hi John, 
 
 My guess is that you have an outlier polyline or point way outside the main drawing that is not visible to the naked eye. I suspect that if you did a zoom to extent under INPUT/SITE map it would look the same. I would make a copy of the project just to be safe and then try this technique to erase the outlier.. in the copy From input site map zoom to extent. you should end up seeing it zoomed way out as in your second screenshot . then click on the erase button from the toolbar. choose MARK ALL.. Then choose unmark and highlight the true site map area around the point . Then hit ok it should erase the outlier. I put a quick video showing this technique
