AutoCAD Map 3D

[#1]

When I use quick select, I can see that there are map features listed in my drawings.  When I try to select these features it either says they have been selected but they aren't actually selected, or the autocad will crash forcing me to start over.  How can I removed these features (which do not actually appear in the drawing) from the drawing.  So many of my files seem to have this problem.

btw, I am using Map 2010 32bit.  I can't deny there are days where I want to go back to '08 standard.  I have been very disappointed in Map.  It seems to offer a lot but really doesn't seem to handle all that it says it can.

What kind of file are you connected too?

Are your shapes Polygons, points, or lines?

Hi,

Check the task pane if there are any layers (feature classes) present in it (If it's turned off type mapwspace in the command line then press enter twice).

If there are no feature classes there, check the connect to data dialog (Task Pane > Data > Connect to data). If there are map features connected to your drawing, you should see them there. Disconnect, then delete the connections, save the drawing and you should be alright from there.

If this happens every time you start a drawing -create a new drawing with the new command-, then it should be the dwt, that you choose when creating a new drawing. Open the dwt and do the same to it.

Hope this helps, G

I am not connected to any features... that is what is odd. nat

I have done all those steps. Another point I should make is that the number of map features is usually equal to the number of items not selected that quick select warns me about before opening. nat
