[Qgis-user] Opening a layout in "Zoom full" view

[Tony Shepherd (FarmMaps NZ)]

Hi Nicolas

 

Yes, I too had those issues with MapInfo and AutoCAD in a previous life.  This is a stock standard QGIS layout, just a normal A4 and A3 layout, both either portrait or landscape. 

 

Any saved project, or any new project.  Add a layout or two that contain the normal layout elements (map window(s), scale bars, free text, attribute table etc).  All elements are within the “page”. Close everything, open that saved project file, open the layout or layouts, and the first view you get of that layout is a small view (say 20% or so).  Then press the View Extents button and then it zooms to the extent as expected.  So that tells me if there was an element placed in a strange place within the layout then zooming to the extents would then make that rogue element obvious, so in my case, I am sure that is not the reason.

 

I think it would be a good feature that when saving a project, the layout will open at the same view scale as when the project was saved, or perhaps have a flag that allows you to set a default layout zoom scale.

 

It seems to me that in V3.26, when using any project file old or new, the layouts seem to open at a much smaller zoom scale than previous version.  

 

 

Cheers

Hi,

 

I have not experienced this yet in QGIS.  Is it in all of your projects or just one?  It could be related to a certain file.  In the past, I have had this problem with AutoCAD and Mapinfo.  It was usually related to a file having  objects around the 0,0 coordinate, (way off the normal coordinate system of the file).  Have you checked the individual file extents?

Hi All

 

Maybe a silly question, but not one that I could easily find an answer to.

 

Is there a way to set QGIS so that when it opens an existing layout that it automatically displays it in “Zoom full” mode or maybe set a flag somewhere that when you save the project the current layout zoom is retained so that on re-opening it pops back to how it was last displayed?

 

V3.26 seems to behave so that whenever I open a previously saved layout it is about the size of a postage stamp and I have to press the “Zoom full” button, regardless of how I last saved it.

 

Thoughts?

 

Cheers

Tony
