ziemerd Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I can see two objects in my drawing but I cannot zoom in on them nor can I delete them. Any idea what is going on with this drawing? Thanks for the help. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Here we go again. Didn't we just have a very similar situation like this not too long ago? It too was with an AutoCAD vertical product. It was the weirdest thing I ever saw. Geoffers would remember. I think it was something like a marker of some sort. It doesn't print out though, right?

ziemerd Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 When I did a Plot Preview the objects showed up but when I actually plot it out the objects do not show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziemerd Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 I got it!!! I did a Ctrl A and that selected the objects. Why Ctrl A selected the objects where dragging a window did not is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Very interesting. Thanks for sharing that information with us. I'll have to look up the key-combo and see what, if anything, it might be used for in AutoCAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Well Dawn you get today's prize for teaching me something new. In plain AutoCAD using + invokes a Select All. Looking at the command line I saw: _ai_selall_ Selecting objects...done. Everything in my drawing was highlighted. Interesting. Will have to remember that for those stubborn cases where some objects just don't like to get thrown out with the trash. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Geographic markers show as a circle with lines radiating out from the center to the edge. Select all or Ctrl+A will not select them. Using geographiclocation command will let you remove them. Sometimes the objects that are seen but can't be selected are artifacts from TTF text. I don't have one to try to see if it is selectable. I have stopped using TTF and have eliminated a lot of visual problems I was having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtkell Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 ... In plain AutoCAD using + invokes a Select All.... That's funny. For me it toggles groups on and off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 That's funny.For me it toggles groups on and off. For 2009 Shift+Ctrl+A or Ctrl+H toggles groups on and off, default OOB anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Thanks rkent. Geographic markers. That's what I was referring to earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziemerd Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hey ReMark, I'm glad you learned something new but I can't take credit since I learned it from someone else on this forum. This really is a great place for learning AutoCAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVITWeb Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Dunno if you ever solved your problem, but make sure the 0 layer and Defpoints aren't frozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
