Assembly view empty

Anonymous — Sun, 06 Dec 2015 17:08:56 GMT

Was working on simple assembly. Less than 100 parts. Removed some constraints, and "Wham", the whole assembly disappeared from view. But all the parts are still listed in the browser and visibility is on (for all parts). But nothing shows in the viewer.

What happened to my assembly?

I have included the files here. Any suggestions?

because Blk: BLue :8 is way out in space, suppress or delete it and you can see it all again

I can't figure out what you did to cause the behavior, and I can't explain why the following steps "fixed" the issue, but -

I dragged the grounded part to the top of the browser.

I Shift selected all other parts and turned off Visibility.

I turned on the assembly Origin.

Zoomed All - nothing, but when I click near the origin I get Grounded part glyph.

I Shift selected all but Grounded part and turned off Enable.

Zoomed and fooled around again.

Turned off and on Visibility and Enable of the Grounded part.

Zoomed and suddenly that part became visible.

Turned on and Enabled all other parts and they returned to visibility.

Edit: I suspected it would be a "floater" as Michael found, but I never found it.

I took the long way .. Suppress the bottom 10, and unsuppressed them one by one till it zoomed away...

Maybe this will work as a general solution for future use.

Thank you everyone for not only a very quick reply, but excellent tips, and preventative info to ensure I don't fall into this trap again.

Thanks again.
