Viewports won't always show objects.

[JWatersGate]

Recently I have been having a problem with AutoCAD 2014. In paper space sometimes in the viewports objects, text, blocks, and dims will not show up. They are not hidden and the scale for annotation is set correctly. Also, when I change the scale (sometimes) , if I have Revit or another AutoCAD DWG open, it will switch to those and scale random items.  To fix the problem I have to scale the viewport to another scale then back again for them to show up. I can also double click in the viewport and REGEN to have them show up. My company uninstalled and reinstalled AutoCAD to see if that fixed the issue. Everything was going smooth until a couple minutes ago. This is a major problem that I am having. If anyone knows why this is happening or how to fix it, please let me know.

Thank you.

Hi,

Could you list your hardware including graphics card, operating system and shoe size?

Shoe size could be important in the case of violent physical attacks on said workstation.

Thanks, 12 eh? Could be handy later.

Have you installed the latest service packs for 2014:

And the latest graphics driver for your graphics card:

Do you have hardware accleration turned on or off?

This happens in any drawing or just the one?  Do you have any image files in the drawing, .jpg, .pdf, etc.

I just had IT install the service pack (seeing that there has never been one updated). I have not had the issue since then. Hopefully that will help. I will give it a week or so and let everyone know if it solved the problem. 

Hardware Accelerator is turned on and the graphics card drivers are up to date. 

Yes, It happens in all DWGs.

Yes, It happens in all drawings. and no image files or any other attachments at all.
