 +===Finding Objects if you have large blank extents===
 +If you have inserted an xvi or drawing image with large extents, it may be difficult to find the drawing objects by panning or zooming around the drawing interface.\\
 +An easier way to locate any drawing objects is to open the Objects window on the top right-hand side of the XTherion interface, and click on one of the objects listed.
 +Except for scraps, and areas, most objects will be selected and the drawing area will be panned to show the object mid-screen.\\
