Today I was in print preview and i must have pressed something by mistake as the drawing shrunk but blank sheet didn't. Ok, I'll just reload the drawing(I had saved just before the print preview -the file loads and shrinks again.....which means I must have pressed something of the program itself. I hope my description explained the problem. Qcad V 3.22.1 (latest) and Win 10 regularly updated.

Re: view ?
Thank you....I had a look and the workspace became enormous. When you start Qcad,the grid is in 1mm spacing but now it's 100mm. The file is attached. Many thanks.

Great - thank you.
I assume you used in print preview the option "Auto fit drawing to page". QCAD did exactly what you had ask for .... but you have a lost circle (2 mm diameter) on the very right side, around 6000 mm away from your main drawing, and QCAD considers that as part of the drawing.
However, delete the circle and repeat in the print preview the "Auto fit drawing to page" function and I think that is what you are looking for. Try it and keep us posted how it works out for you.

Re: view ?
Yep - that's it. As you said, Qcad was obeying my orders. good to know and what to check out. I was sure it was "bad operator error". I've been using computers long enough (35 years) to know they obey faithfully what we tell them. Many thanks.
P.S. For me not to feel stupid : is it a common rookie mistake ?
