Surface not cooperating

[Chaznsc]

I have a file I have been working with for a few months now, and all of a sudden, the existing surface has crapped out on me. The surface and linework is thill there, but it wont label elevations or even list them. If I explode thew surface the resulting polylines are intact with elevations.

Is it a data shortcut? If so, try deleting the reference and re-inserting it. Have you audited the drawing?

[Chaznsc]

Thank you for the reply. Its not a shortcut.Audited it, fixed whatever was wrong and its still acting up.

Its been fine up until today.

You could try copying and pasting the exploded contours (with correct elevations) into a blank drawing, creating a surface from those contours, and data referencing it into the file with the issue.

i went and recreated the surface. Same issue. Created a new surface from pretend contours, sasme thing. There is a bug in this file apparently.

Need a little more info please:

What version are you using?  SPs up to date?

You say you recreated the surface, did you do this in the same drawing?  Have you tried a new drawing?

What is the data used for your surface?  Points, breaklines, etc?

If points, are they native in the drawing or from a point file?

If you could post the drawing someone may be able to figure this out for you.
