Fast Help

I am a student with a final project due!!!! My problem is, when I try to use solid view to create my view ports nothing shows up in the viewport! The object iss there in model view but I cant get it into a viewport using solidview.

What is the object? A needle in a haystack?

Normally getting an object to show up in a viewport is pretty straightforward. Did you activate the viewport and do a Zoom > Limits? Have you tried using Pan to locate the object?

I have searched and when in the viewport there is nothing. I can get the object in normal viewports but when using solid view nothing shows up.

Have you checked your layers aren't frozen in the viewports or something similar?

Are you talking about SOLVIEW and SOLDRAW?

Solview and all layers are thawed, and unlocked

It's probably just my opinion, but the whole SOLVIEW and SOLDRAW thing seems to be a bit archaic given what you can do with a section plane and FLATSHOT. Use a section plane to get all of your elevations, plan views and sections, then use FLATSHOT to get your isometric views.

The Section Plane command in AutoCAD 2007 and higher will create a 2D section of an object.
