how to fix invisible block references

[satya.yejju]

I have a drawing that consists of two blocks reference in it but I can't see them or open it in the block editor. All the layers are turned on, thawed and unlocked. I can only see them when I select all the elements on the sheet through the "Select All"(Ctrl+A) command.

 I wasn't able to find any solution on Google, so I am turning to the forum. How to work with them and make them visible? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

You have an empty blocks .. there is nothing in it ( zero objects found ) . for that it's invisible blocks . try to use BEDIT command to see how it's nothing there.

As @imadHabash mentioned, they are empty.  Unless you need the locations of the block references, which are about 30 miles apart, then just use qselect to select all block references and delete them. This makes those definitions purgeable.

If you want to add objects to those definitions, use bedit. Select the name from the list and draw something.  What you draw should be at least 500 feet square.
