i have a situation (as mentioned in a post below) where my border references have somehow moved many, many miles away from the correct location. Moving them back requires doing a Fit All, which shows me two tiny, tiny dots (my sheet and my border), then I have to window in several times to be able to see enough of my border to pick it up and move it.
This would be much easier of there was a command to Fit View to a specific reference. I've never heard of it, never thought about it until now, but Boy, that would be useful!!!
Is there such a command?
If not, I'm taking this over to Ideas.Thank you.MaryB
Mary,
The key-in fit reference <ref file name or logical name>;selview 1 may work for you.
Regards,
Andre
Unfortunately, that does not work for me. It fits all references, ignoring the specification.

I cant fix this for you but , I have a work flow to make it easier to see both dots better, open two windows and in one you fit to show only your border ref and in the other your sheet now from the ref manager use the move and drag the ref from one window to the other.. Ive done this before so it works for me... BTW is the shift the same in every drawing file ? if so you could copy the xy coordinates of the final placed ref from ref manager into you next drawing and the ref should move to the new coords... (original coords)... if you have many files you may be able to do work our a script for batch or vba in batch pro...

Are any nested reference files involved? Can you share an example file with references so I can have a look at it.
It does work if I put the logical name in quotes (which I wasn't doing before). Thank you. That helps a great deal.
