Created curves not visible.

lightstream — Sat, 07 Sep 2019 16:09:02 GMT

For some reason newly created curves are not showing up in the viewport. I did a polygon edge conversion and the curve is visible in the Outliner, but not in the viewport. So I tried creating an EP Curve using the snap to vertex option and, again, nothing is visible in the viewport only in the Outliner. Obviously, I've done this before so why it's not showing up now, is baffling. I tried restarting and that has not helped. Has this happened to anyone else? Any thoughts on how I can fix this? I would apprecaite any help.

Thanks for the reply. This happened so long ago, I forget how it was solved.
