V5 - V8.12.24282.7001, 2024-10-08

For a block instance with nested instances, both _Zoom _Extents and _Print View and Output Scale - Extents include the objects in the nested block instances when the instance layer’s visibility is off but a separate layer for the nested block’s contents is on.

For example, given an instance (Level 1) with this structure:

  • Text - Level 1
  • Inst - Level 2
    • Text - Level 2
    • Inst - Level 3
      • Text - Level 3

Please make Zoom Extents (and the Extents inside of Print) reference only visible objects.

Thank you
