points in space in a 3d sketch

[AndreaG85]

Hello.
for work needs I find myself having to draw a break with distances between the huge points (centin of meters). putting the units of measurement as mks also seems that after 4 maximum points, the line of the broken becomes overwritten and incalculable.
the coordinates of the maximum points are about 1000 m, besides I am not allowed to give them.
Does anyone of you know if it is possible, changing parameters or options, having greater freedom or sw is limited to a certain maximum size? I'm using sw2019.

Thank you.

the field of the geometric engine of solidworks is not infinite. I would use a small scale, for example mm as they were meters

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

the maximum size of the graphic area should be 10000x10000

 

[AndreaG85]

but it is possible, as for example in ptc, to draw it all in mm and then to transform everything in meters before export to step?
creo has the function "interpret" when switching from one measurement system to another that p very convenient

I correct the definition of the graphical area limit:
is ascribed to a circle with 1000m radius

I've done a lot of tests, but working only in solid seems there's no chance.
the scale function does not work by entering values that exceed the graphic area.
Also exporting to acis, that a format in which you can indicate the export unit, to the next import is asked an import scale factor that never goes beyond the size of the graphic area.
also passing through other programs to increase the size, reimport it in solid would be possible, but would become unmanageable; I once imported a model made with tekla that exceeded these dimensions but I went crazy to manage it... in those days I have accumulated a bad karma

I don't know in your case, but every time I had to import tekla files I found a cat to peel. If it's okay, you care about a crap, if it's all wrong.

I join, too, that this discussion begins to scare me... .

you want to tell me that the maximum space limit of solidworks is 2000 mt in a dimension?

You have no idea how blasphemed I was, and I also had to do my matings.
and then the client made a change and sent me back the file and repaired with import and blasphemies. I have accumulated negative karma for the next 10 reincarnations

Please, where do I find this information about the maximum limit?

Please, where do I find this information about the maximum limit?

the limit of the working space is 1000 meters, I confirm. I don't know if it's written in the guide, he told me the assistance years ago.
