I see the lines but can't select them!!!!!

[araslan]

I have a strange thing that recently started on a file that I've been working for a while. All of a sudden I can't select line/poly lines to modify, howe3ver I can with others on the same layer. I've noticed the lines I have problems with are generally in the same direction. Some times I can highlight but can't tag to the snap markers. I did <change> command and did a select – all and changed the elevation to '0' and it actually worked for a while, but it reappeared again.

When I hit regen those lines disappear and reappear again when I open the file again or when I play with the attribute display. I'm just confused, ANY IDEAS.

Thanks

Maybe try running an audit and a purge on the dwg. If that doesn't work I'd give'r a restart to see if the problem remains.

I purge and audit all the time and have restarted and still the same.

araslan,

I've had this happen recently also. Although i can't figure out what caused it, i can remedy it in the drawing.
try this:
1. select "CTRL"+"A" to select all.
2. delete all of the entities
3. very important step, select "OOPS", do not leave this step out.

Now you should be able to select the entities that were previously un-selectable.
If anyone has a fix to this, please let me know.

thanks

See here: "How to add images to your posts"
Make sure your Cad file is under 250kb.

It's worth a shot here, but I do not think it will actually work...

Is your 0 (zero) layer frozen or turned off?
Same goes for defpoints
