Welcome to the Forums

3 things to check

1. The array is not on the DEFPOINTS layer.

2. The Layer the array is on is set to NOT PLOT (a red diagonal line through the printer)

3. The Layer or array colour is not set to 255 or True Colour 255,255,255

Thanks

Checked all those and they are all correct, only using 1 layer, I had to do a graphics card upgrade yesterday and since then the arrays do not appear.

Cheers

Sounds like your graphics card is the problem. Can you post the drawing here so we can have a look at it

No file attached. Try putting it in a zip file and attaching that

I'm talking about posting the actual drawing not the PDF of the drawing. Then we can see if we can recreate the problem or tell you if it is something to do with your graphics card.

We can't help with just seeing a PDF

Got it and I've seen what your problem is.

Explode the array and now select your white arcs. You will see they are on the defpoints layer. Change their layer from defpoints and you will get the attached
