When I insert a block it doesn't actually show up in my drawing. I am prompted to provide a location and am given the option to scale, etc, but when I complete the command the block isn't there. I have even searched for the block using QSELECT and searching for it by name, but it isn't there. I can insert this block in different drawings without issues. I have found, however, that if I insert it as exploded it will show up. Why can't I insert it as a block though?
The block in question is "rail diag". I just renamed the file and for some reason now it works... I have no idea why though. If you think you can figure out the what & why then please feel free to check out the file. Thanks.
Could run an Audit to see if it woul fix itself.

It looks like the block is from vertical autocad (Architectural or any CAD others than plain Autocad because of the block names)
It doen't show up because you had disabled Show Proxy Objects in this drawing.
It shows on other drawings because you click on Show Proxy Objects.
