Can't erase

I have a drawing that was given to me by one of our users that has a leader line and text that can not be erased, selected or changed. It is like they are phantom entities. They are visible upon opening but will disappear upon doing a regen all. They reappear each time you open the drawing.

Anyone else ever had this issue? If so, how was it resolved?

This sounds like a defpoints issue. Check to see that layer 0 is on, and
thawed, and that the defpoints layer is on, and thawed.

You may be able to get to your phantom entities after that.

Nope, not a defpoints layer (I have been around the software a while so this was one of my first checks)

To go into even more clarification, I can erase every other entity in the file and these entities are still visible. You can not select them and they will not print. I can delete the layers they are on and they seem to disappear but it of coarse deletes the rest of the entities on those layers.

Anyone else?

I have this on one drawing. No I don't know how to fix it. They don't seem to plot, but other than that its frustrating.

I have seen OLE objects left behind like that. Erase them, save & reopen the
dwg to see the ole still visible but not selectable or editable.

I had to place all of my drawing objects into a new dwg to get rid of it.
