Just cropping a regular ol' standard front view of a round part. Absolutely
nothing unusual about it. Has a section line through the center of it, but it doesn't even have dimensions on it - those are all in the section view. On a whim, I decided to start to make a new drawing of the part to see if the problem duplicates, so I placed the exact same view on a new sheet (same
template as the old dwg), created the same section view, and then tried to crop it on that sheet and the crop works - no problems, so it's got to be something the guy did to the drawing format or he's got something "unusual"
in that view I just can't see that's screwing it up. By "unusual", I mean poor drawing techniques. I described how this guy was making center lines, but another example of his would be - I'd find unconstrained sections lines
that were supposed to be vertical, but were actually 1/4 degree off that (or
some that were vertical, but .00005" off the actual center of the part) and
I would have to waste time trying to find out why the section view was screwed up, or why I couldn't add a radius dimension to it because it wasn't
a "true" radius...erg...so I know what to check for on his prints, but this
is a new one....
Anyway I ended up redrawing it, but I saved the old print as I eventually want to know what's going on should I run across this again...
Thanks...

If that's the case you might want to look at the document properties for some different setting. From time to time SW gets a corrupt file.Have tou seen if youa already have done a crop in your view ?
Sometimes you can fix a corrupt file by deleting everything and then
doing an undo. Backup first if you try this.
