rosswhiteeca Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hi, I have a complex drawing (155 layers) of a site, and although I can see all layers in paper space layouts, in model space I can only see the ones I exported as pdf's. I've turned all layers on (hence why I can see them in paper space) but they are still invisible in model space. I need to alter the drawing so this is proving very annoying!!

nestly Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Could a different CTB (plotstyle table) be applied to modelspace that's altering the display in modelspace only? From modelspace, enter the PAGESETUP dialog then Modify then uncheck Display with Plotstyle in the upper right corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosswhiteeca Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi nestly, thanks for your reply. I've had a look at that and it was already unchecked! Still no idea what's going on :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven-g Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Could you post a copy of the drawing, maybe with the majority of things deleted, just leaving a couple of sample objects that do and do not display, so someone could take a look, it would only need one layout viewport, so long as it still has the same problems you are experiencing.

rosswhiteeca Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi, I've managed to find a back up copy on my external hard drive which seems to be working I may still post the drawing as I'd like a solution in case it happens again! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven-g Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Just a thought, is it not something silly like all the objects have moved to paperspace ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organic Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Check what colours the layers are in modelspace. E.g. if the layers are colour blue and you have a blue AutoCad background (whereas whoever created the drawing had a yellow AutoCad background) then you're going to struggle to see them. The layer colours may have been overridden to be something different in the paperspace viewports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
