Arithmetic Overflow in BricsCAD

Question

What is this error and how to make it go away?

BricsCAD An Arithmetic Overflow

Answer

There could be some entities far away from the origin. Try by doing a zoom fit and calculating the distance from the origin. If you get a x=3.25E35 (ie 325000000000000000000000000000000000.0), delete that entity.

Another reason could be when working with images. It is recommended to use IMAGEATTACH (Insert > Attach Raster Image) to create an xref to the JPG file instead of copying and pasting images straight from other sources.

A good practice working with images is by use IMAGEATTACH then scale them with ALIGN. It scales and rotates at the same time.
