Hi Thanks for the tips.
However, something is definitely wrong.  I have opened different files from 3 different sources all of the same drawing but all done independently and it's a disaster
.
If the,zoom level is stored I highly doubt that people zoomed out so far that one has to zoom in by a factor of 100000 to see the drawing. Also it is so far away from the origin it's almost impossible to find. This is happening all the time
When I start librecad, I have grids that go from 1 to 1000000 and I have to zoom out by 1000000 times to see a grid from 0 to 1. My settings have the grid set to 1. If I don't zoom out I can draw but in crazy units and then of course the cam program shows ridiculous drawings.
Why is this so difficult?
