How to unhide hidden objects in AutoCAD Mac

Anonymous — Thu, 10 Jul 2014 11:07:11 GMT

After hiding some objects to make easy to work, it's not possible to make them visible again. "End Object Isolation" doesn't work (or maybe it's not right way). How can I show hidden objects again?

As you can see only one of the hidden objects (on the bottom left corner) is visible.

If you use Isolate -> Hide Objects from right-click context menu, than End Object Isolation from the same menu should show all hidden objects.
If you have troubles - close drawing (don't forget to save it) and than open again - isolation doesn't retains between drawing sessions.

I did both you suggest. When I start AutoCAD again, it still looks like this on "Welcome" screen:

It appears something wrong inside your DWG.
Do you want to say that there are no objects you hide previously in the drawing?

There should be an objects, but after hiding they disappeared. I also attach the DWG file, please find the attached file below.

Here how it looks when I select visible object that was in the same Group with "hidden" objects:

It appears all (exc 2) 3D Solids in your drawings has zero height somehow.

I give them positive height and they reappears

Sorry, I didn't understand. What you mean with "zero height"? How it could be? Everything was nice enough before.

The reason why I ask is to understand why after hiding and ending isolation only one of the objects is visible properly.

Sorry, but I have no idea how they (3D Solids) were corrupted. Simple isolation procedure could not modify the objects in the drawing, they just disappears temporary if you hide them. And I don't think that the case was in the fact that they were grouped.
