Set the working area

When a working area is stored, the software uses it as default view for the CAD and Job window. If a working area is defined, the command Zoom Max. shows the defined working area. Working areas can be defined in the two ways:
- Setting a working area directly.
- Defining a working area.

A too large extension may occur, for example, when importing a DXF file, where blocks or other objects may be positioned in a completely different location from the main drawing. In this case the working area allows to work only on the area of interest.

When the drawing extension is too large to display all items correctly, this symbol appears.
By clicking on the icon, the area to work on can be defined.
