drawing missing

Anonymous — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 10:08:09 GMT

i made a copy of the master drawing and edited it as required for my purpose and encased it in a rectangle and then saved it. but when i opened the drawing the next day, the image (drawing in the rectangle only) is missing. the rest of the drawing that i made to use for editing is visible. the interesting part is that the entire drawing is seen in the preview thumbnail.

Hi,

could you post this CAD file here?

Note:

you may get back and check the .BAK file or any temp file and look for a copy.

Hi,

Delete that rectangle you created and check whether it is a wipeout frame or not.

If not Please upload the drawing.

Thanks & Best regards

Preview is not a peak inside the DWG file, it's a static image embedded in the DWG file from the last time you saved.
