      I made a reset of the settings at workbench to have the default settings but i cant see neither moorings nor discs.Plus,default mesh is very low...Also,when i was on spaceclaim,close zoom couldnt work.This happens when i start a new file.Fortunately ,the other aqwa files arent influenced like that.

      Thank you!

      Hello Greg,

      Looking at the ruler at the bottom of your screenshot, it looks like the geometry has somehow been scaled up by a factor of 1000 - the ruler is showing 200,000 metres, but I guess it should be 200 metres. This might also be why SpaceClaim is not working properly.

      The discs will be drawn at their defined size, so if this is on the order of metres, they are simply too small (relatively) to be visible in the graphical window. Similarly, the mooring lines are drawn at a default size of 1.2 metres.

      Cheers, Mike

      Hello Greg,

      I think you need to modify the geometry in SpaceClaim - please check the dimensions of the structure there - I guess it is 1000x too big.

      To set the Mesh settings to their automatic values, just enter '0' in the Element Size field, and it should go back to the default.

      Cheers, Mike
