Can't see items already on a layer, but can draw new items on that same layer

Can't see items already on a layer, but can draw new items on that same layer

Anonymous

I have opened an xref file but cannot see any of the items drawn on one specific layer in model space (or in paper space), but qselect tells me that there are 11 items on that layer - and I know there are items there because my co-worker can see them on her computer.  However, if I choose that layer and draw a line or object, I can see it - just not the items that someone else had already drawn.  Any ideas as to what could be happening?  I seem to be the only one who can't see those items when I open the file.  Thanks for your help!

Hi,

 

>> qselect tells me that there are 11 items on that layer

Then select these objects, run command _COPYBASE (using point 0,0,0), then create a new dwg-file and use command _PASTELCLIP to paste the geometry ... do you see that now?

Which type of geometry is it? If these objects are block-insertions then you might have thawed the block insertion layer, but if the block has all it's geometry on frozen layers you won't see this.

Thanks for the reply! I tried to copy the items and paste into a new dwg file, but when I did that, it told me there no items in the new dwg.  After I did qselect, it told me the items were: ACAD_PROXY_ENTITY.  The person who initially created this file uses Design Master.  It's strange that I can't see the items, but my co-worker can and doesn't use Design Master or have it on her computer?  I'm guessing there's a setting somewhere that's different on my machine from hers.

Hi,

 

>> it told me the items were: ACAD_PROXY_ENTITY

Can you please set sysvar PROXYSHOW to 1, then restart AutoCAD and open the dwg-file again?

 

Can you upload this dwg-file?
