    Data Refence Surface dissapears

    I have a Surface that is data referenced into many different drawings. On one of the drawings, the reference will not show contours until I sync. It will show the boundary. Just one of them...but I can't use sheet set manager to publish drawings since I have to open it up and sync. Has anybody encountered this before? Is there a setting we changed? The styles are all the same. The surface is on C-Surface, the boundary is on C-Surface, the Contours are on C-Surface-MJR, C-Surface-MNR.

     

    Thanks,

    What if you detach the reference, save and close the drawing, re-open the drawing, re-attach the data ref? Does that make it behave?

    You could make the program automatically reload references when drawings are opened.  Add the following LISP command to the acaddoc.lsp file:

     

    (command "SynchronizeReferences")

     

    If you only need this to occur for one project only, save this copy of the acaddoc.lsp in the same folder as the drawings that are being published.
