Data Refence Surface dissapears

[Anonymous]

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,

Dan

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.
