This is in 2013. We have a project where in some layouts, the Station Ticks do not display. The Major Station Numbers are displayed. The label set uses major labels with tick and minor with ticks only. The Tick is AeccTickLine and the layers used are C-ROAD-TEXT for Alignment Labels, C-ROAD-STAN-MAJR and -MINR for major and minor ticks.
In one Veiwport, I thawed every layer with no success. I created a new viewport and in that viewport, I see all of the ticks and labels. Does anyone know why this occurs?

Was this just using ordinary Freeze/Thaw or was it done by clicking into Model Space of the Viewport,
with Layer Manager open and scrolling over to "VP Freeze" column and verifying there weren't any
Layers frozen within the current viewport?
I tried thawing eveyway I know how. And there appeared to be no viewport freeze actions enabled.
Now, for a real puzzler.
When I change may current layer in the layout, and regenall, the ticks may appear and may not depending upon the layer I select to make current. On top of that, they may also change color, depending upon the layer I make current.
The alignment and its labels are coming from an XREF in modelspace on layer xref. The layers in my current file that I experimented with included some with plot turned off and when those were selected, the ticks display but do not plot. While the ticks are changing color, the station text was not.
We are going to recommend always plotting with Layer 0 as the current layer, for now.
Can you post your dwg? I'm curious and would like to investigate. Also -- what version?
If it's too large to post to the site, post it on a cloud site like Dropbox and share a link with us.
EDIT: Duh -- I guess I skimmed over the fact that you said it's in 2013.

I had something similar happen a few months ago. Try the following.

I tried stripping as much out of the file as possible and the two are stll about 5 megs combined. What's up with that? I used Purge Styles, regular purge, dgnpurge and the files are stll that big.
