Working on a drawing with about 30 layers in Architecture 2014.
I turned all of them off for a minute, intending to turn just one back on to work on it. Now they won't come back. I selected all and turned the "lightbulb" on. I was able to get one layer to show up but the rest won't turn on. Nothing is locked or frozen. I have closed and reopened the drawing, changed the view style, restarted the computer, even opened it in Autocad on a Mac. Nothing worked.
How can I get these layers to be visible again?
Might you have isolated/hidden vs turned layers off? If so, there would be a red lightbulb on the status line.
If recover won't fix it, go to the backup. Whatever you do, don't save it in a corrupted state or you will lose your backup. Copy/paste will only work if there is something to copy. If your backup is already gone, start from scratch.
