Schematic Capture and Board Layout
In Eagle, as you build the schematic you need a bit more space as more components are added, and as you determine that circuit sections should be moved apart to make it easier to read. Similarly, as you work on the board in the Board editor, you will be constantly zooming in and out to see things close up or to see the bigger picture.
All of this zooming in and out and resizing will make Eagle "tired", and subsequent zooms may not allow the entire circuit or board to be visible. At this point you need to FIT the view to the window using the FIT option in the section of ZOOM parameters in the upper toolbar. FIT is a magnifying glass with a white centre. Left-click on this and the view of the schematic or board will snap to fit within the window. It is anew starting point for zooming in and out that allows everything to work more as it should.
Remember to FIT the view regularly to avoid a program crash.
