Create an "extents view"
From the original plan, make an extents view, exactly as you want it to appear

in MM8000 / MT8001.
1. Draw a rectangle on a new layer MM8000 / MT8001_Extents, with the desired
drawing size.
2. Perform a Zoom extents to view the result and note the values of the drawing
extents with the command:
EXTMIN = reference of the lower left side.
EXTMAX = reference of the upper right side.
3. Round these values and note them on the layer MM8000 / MT8001_Extents.
4. Remove the rectangle.
5. Draw a new rectangle based on the EXTMIN and EXTMAX values that you
have chosen.
6. Switch off the layer MM8000 / MT8001_Extents.
Save the drawing
Save and close the drawing.

In case of troubles with the native format of your version, you may try to Save
as the file in another format. Keep the original as reference drawing for future
changes.
Information about version compatibility can be found in the product Release
Notes.
Never change the extents view. This way you will never have to redo the

placement of active symbols.
