  1. Draw some scrap entities that extend to the far reaches of what will be your drawing area.
  2. Save your th2 file and close Xtherion
  3. Rename the xvi file so that Xtherion temporarily cannot find it
  4. Open the th2 file in Xtherion then ‘Drawing pane’ Auto Adjust button so that Xtherion zooms the drawing extents
  5. Save your th2 file and close Xtherion
  6. Rename the xvi file back to its original name
  7. Open the th2 file in Xtherion and it should have remembered your new drawing area and drawing position in the window, even though the xvi grid and (spurious) drawings may extend far outside of that area.

My workflow:

there are several places you may find the coordinates of object: cursor, point, left bottom corner of background image or left bottom corner of scrap. Check the attached screenshots.

  1. insert xvi, set zoom factor to 25 %
  2. use Autoadjust in Scraps part of menu
  3. find the sketch - in this case in the left up corner of working area
  4. move cursor to right bottom corner of drawing area you want and note the coordinates of cursor  
  5. write the coordinates to appropriate fields of Drawing area coordinates
  6. press Adjust button
  7. don't press Auto adjust button!
  8. save
