ahtnaes10 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I have been working for a few hours on a file, saving as I go along. It's finally finished and I can't see some of my recent work in paper space! I can't see any of my text and a few other bits. Most importantly - my text layer is on, nothing is locked and it's not transparent. Any ideas? I'm supposed to turn this in for review first thing in the morning!

Tiger Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Are the layers in question turned on in the VP Freeze column as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy78 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Also check if the "no print" button of the layer isn't accidently checked. If it's annotative text, check if you have added the right scale for your layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 What scale was assigned to the viewport(s) you are using in your layout? Did you make use of annotative scaling for your text? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahtnaes10 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Hi! Thanks for all the suggestions, so far, none of that is working. Nothing is annotative so I'm in the clear for that. Nothing is turned off that would prevent me from seeing it - no vp freezes, no "off" printers. I really don't know what I did differently because I've always gone about this the same way. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Activate the viewport and do a Zoom > All or a Zoom > Extents. What do you see on your screen? Better yet...post the drawing so we can take a look at it. If the file size is too big then zip it and attach instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahtnaes10 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 When I zoomed>extents, I could see the entirety of what I've been working on. I also drew a rectangle around what was visible in my viewport just to confirm that I was focused on the correct structures. I just ended up creating a new text layer and transferring all the text to that new layer. It worked out just fine. Maybe that layer was corrupted?
