Diagram "Fit to Screen" not working well.
« on: May 08, 2015, 02:59:55 am »
What influences how EA displays a diagram when one clicks "Fit to Screen"?
I have an issue that the "Fit ti Screen"is either not displaying all of the diagram or in the other case, displaying it much smaller that it actually is.

I have two very similar diagrams (both are network deployment diagrams). Both diagram properties are the same, i.e., 11x17 Landscape, Scaled=None. I also have them set so that I see the page boarders.

One has all objects within a 5 row x8 column page grid while the other is slightly smaller (4 row x 6 column pages).

When I display the 5x8 and click "Fit to Screen" on a 1080x1680 monitor, it displays 10 rows x 11.5 column pages (as if there were some invisible oblject that it wants to include that sits way outside the visible objects within the 5x8 pages. Its even worst when I display it on the laptop's 1200x1920 screen, in that it displays 13 columns. I thus have a lot of empty pages and the actual 5x8 pages are about 1/3 the size they should be.

The other diagram is just the opposite. Instead of displaying the 4x6 pages on the 1080x1680 monitor, it displays 4.5 rows x 6.25 column pages, thus cutting off objects in the 6th column. However when I display it on the laptop's 1200x1920 screen, it displays just about right.

Is there anything I can do that may make EA reset what it thinks the diagram's "Fit to Screen" displayed width and height are? Or is this an issue (a.k.a. bug) within EA in determining the active monitor's display properties.  

I have had this issue across multiple EA releases, but I am currently using 12.0.1212.

Sometime you have invisible element (boundaries, text). You can verify that via Ctrl-A. I also remember a thread where exactly this issue was discussed. Can't remember the outcome but I think it was something like sh1t happens.

Ctrl-A did not show up any hidden elements, so...
Guess its cause #2, so to speak.

Guess so. Did you try to find the thread? It's not this one: http://www.sparxsystems.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1409641267/1#1 though related too.

I had tried before posting using search:
Fit to Screen
on all forums for all time, but nothing really popped up.

I found this one: http://www.sparxsystems.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1289175397/1#1 but that's also not the one I had in mind. So be it #2
