Autocad Electrical - Disappearing Footprint when using icon menu.

[burkebridges]

Hi guys,

I've got a strange issue occurring here with the panel icon menu in AutoCAD electrical. 

Whenever I select the icon I want, it shows the footprint as I move my mouse around to place it (as it should), and allows me to place it and prompts me to fill the attributes. However once the attribute window closes the footprint is nowhere to be found. No block inserted, all layers turned on, no metadata being saved, nothing.

We have a catalogue of other parts and they all work fine, there originally was an issue with the terminal editor for this item as well, and changing the file name and panel footprint database fixed that side of it. However no matter what I seem to do to the icon menu nothing seems to stick. 

Things I've tried:

Remaking the Icon in the icon menu.

Renaming the file.

Copying the footprint to a new drawing to save another version of it to use.

Remaking the footprint from the symbol builder and linking again in the icon menu.

Out of options here,

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

looks like it's an annotative block.

set ANNOALLVISIBLE to 1 and see if it shows up

Upon investigating this the issue again it seems to have resolved itself - for now. I don't believe it is an annotative block, and my test drawings were already set to ANNOALLVISIBLE = 1. When editing the block, annotative is set to "no" in symbol builder. Not sure what the issue is, but I'll make sure to check this again if it reoccurs. Thanks.

I'd be looking into a issue with insert point definitions, or block/file name conflict too.
