thickly Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I have been having this problem with several drawing files and it is driving me nuts. I am working on a fixture plan for a retail store -- I inserted blocks for the different fixtures making sure they were inserted into the correct layer. In my model space the fixtures show up fine, but when I click on the layout tab - the blocks do not show up even though other parts of the layer are visible -- I turned on all layers and thawed all layers and they just will not show up in the viewport. I erased the viewport and created a new one.... Nothing I can think of will get these things to show up correctly -- any idea on how to fix this -- it is driving me nuts.

mtutaj Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 are you sure that you don't have any parts on the defpoints layer, or have the layers frozen thru the viewport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbowers Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Are they Third-Party blocks? If so, you might need to "burst" them, re-add them to the layer and hopefully it should work. Bursting will usually preserve the polyline attributes but you'll be able to manipulate their layer, color, style, and linetype properties. Hope this helps.

thickly Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 yeah, I'm positive nothing is on a defpoints layer (they don't even show up in the layout tab) -- and they were definitely inserted on the correct layer - the layer is turned on because other objects on that layer are visible and print. I made the blocks myself and when I insert them in other drawings I don't have any issue with them being visible or printing. I'll try exploding them and see if that helps when I get back in the office. I must say, the more I use ACAD the less I like it - whenever I encounter a problem it seems like it is completely unexplainable why it happens. Very frustrating.

Thiago de Andrade Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Layers can be frozen only in the current layout tab, and worse, they can be created with the option "freeze in new viewport", so they could be frozen by default on the layouts you've created. You can manage those stats on the layer manager, scrolling the bar to the right, the last two columns... Say if it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thickly Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 nothing was working -- I finally just deleted all the blocks and the layer and re-created it and everything is appearing as it is supposed to. Thanks for the tips anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
