I am using ADT2006. The project was created using project navigator. The issue i am having is that when i bind the xrefs in the sheet file the doors, images, column grid and some of the walls disappear. I am binding using the xref manager to bind my xrefs. This also happens when I use e-transmit. All of the xrefs are loaded and attached. What could be the cause of this?

Check If You Have Any Layers Turned Off Or Freeze In Your Host (main) Drawing.

The layers that the objects are on are turned on and are not frozen. Thanks for your reply.

what happens if you make the Xref a block in the original drawing and then bind it?

I did an Audit, Style Manager purge and a command line purge. Still no luck. I made the xref a block before binding it and it completely disappeared. Could it be that the view was brought in through project navigator and when i created a block out of the xref the xml information was lost? Looks like I will just have to bind the view files instead of the sheet files.

Thanks for the replies

Etransmit the drawing and select bind xref in the transmittal setup. That works.

have you tried a print preview to see if they are there? Some of our lineweights do not show up very well while looking at the sheet itself, but they are printing (color 111 for example)
