Hi all!

I'm using AutoCAD MEP 2009 and I drew some cable tray in on a plan, then as I was working with the tray it all of a sudden "disappeared", now I show some yellow boxes with a slash through them when I try and draw new tray, or I get a small yellow line. I can't figure out what I've done to cause the tray to show up this way or how to fix it.

help!!

thanks!!

Check your visual display in the lower right hand corner. If it's on "Standard" and that is your only choice, create a new drawing, save it and then insert it into your original drawing and change your display config to "MEP Design" and see if that helps

well, when I opened the file the next day, after shutting down my PC for the night and thus having to restart AutoCAD, I was able to insert tray with no visual issue. Must be one of the many bugs in AutoCAD.

thanks for the help though!
