Andrew,

Please provide us with more information and a few screen-shots.

What version of Inventor are you using?

Could it have been a mouse focus problem during a delete?

Did Ctrl+Z bring anything back?

Thank you.

Hi andrew.nao,

It sounds like you might have accidentally activated the system defined Level of Detail (LOD) representation in your assembly browser that is named All Content Center Suppressed. To resolve this you can expand the Representations folder in the assembly browser and then exapnd the Level Of Detail node, and then right click on the Master LOD, and choose Activate.

thanks for the replies. in my hastily made post i was very vague in my problem. my apologies. my file is a .idw file, i was placing dimensions on my views and i did something to make ALL my views disappear. here are some screen shots i tried the suggestion curtis made but when i right click i do not see what is being described. im assuming because he was mislead to believe it was a 3D file? in picture A1 you can clearly see the views are in shown in the file and in picture A2 you can see where i mentioned that they are suppressed. im using inventor 2015 thanks

Hi andrew.nao,

If you edit a view in the drawing and look at the Level of Detail area, do you see the view is set to use the All content center suppressed LOD?

I hope this helps.

andrew.nao,

Can you please share a screen shot of the whole sheet so that we can wee what might be showing up on the sheet.

I also wanted to confirm that this is only an issue for one IDW.

Thank you.

@Curtis, no LOD appears in the box (see picture A4) @Bob, there is nothing on the screen to see its blank (see picture A3)

Hi andrew.nao,

So from the screen shots it looks like all of the other views are projected from View12, and therefore are inheriting it's settings. So if you edit View12, can you set it use the Master LOD, rather than the All CC Suppressed LOD?

My apologies in advance if this is something you've already tried. I just want to clarify the views' LOD setting, in order to rule it out.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
