3d Mode - Cannot revert back to 2dwireframe correctly

Anonymous — Fri, 17 Aug 2018 17:48:47 GMT

We are currently using an off-shore team to complete work for a client of ours. During this work, one of the drawings they are working on has had a setting change and i cannot figure it out.

I have attached the drawing to give a better view, but it looks like Shademode Wireframe was enabled. After reverting back to 2dwireframe, i have an axis label of X, Y & W (i've never seen this before or even how it happened!). Also, zoom extents makes the drawing contents invisible.

I'm stumped on this one guys, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

To change the axis label of X, Y & Z label I did the following:

VSCURRENT

2dwireframe

To resolve the zoom way out problem I did the following:

ERASE

ALL

REMOVE

CROSSING <all the objects I see around the xyz axis>

Now ZOOM EXTENTS work.

See attached revised drawing (zipped).

Hi @Anonymous,

I first ran Audit on this file and found 35 errors (using AutoCAD 2019). I used PURGE to remove 33 zero-length geometric objects and 563 empty text objects.

I see also that this drawing did not come from an Autodesk product and also contained proxy objects. I ran an exporttoautocad to get everything to core AutoCAD.

Can you see if my file still gives you the strange behavior?

Thanks both of you.

Using a combination of both answers the drawing is now fixed.

Really appreciate your input!
