And your teacher offered what type of help or suggestion?

If you can't get help there, try these:
Set PROXYSHOW variable to 1 (that's a one)
Set PROXYNOTICE variable to 0 (that's a zero)
Set PROXYGRAPHICS variable to 1 (that's a one).

You will need to type all the above, start AutoCAD alone with a blank/empty file. Then use OPEN command to open all of your files and see what happens.

Hi,

>> the only problem is when it starts autocad shows noting on the screen

Not really "nothing" as your drawing has layouts ... anything visible in any of the layouts?

Also try (back in modelspace)

• open the layer manager, turn on and thaw all layers
• open the property window, press <CTRL><A> ... to select all, does the property window now show that objects are selected?

PS: if you upload the dwg-file, we would be able to help more then just guessing

If not mistaken,
Download and install the latest True View.
From you favorite file manager, drag and drop the file into an instance of True View.
Execute a Save As (or export) and no proxy graphics dialog will show for the
newly created/converted DWG file.

Thanks Dean - just upgraded to 2022 and was getting the proxy objects notice every time I opened a drawing, your message here helped!
