XREFs loaded but not showing

I need a little help here.  

I've got several files with the Titleblock xref'd onto the paper space for printing.  During my work session yesterday I noticed the title block was gone.  I opened the xref manager window and everything appears loaded, up-to-date, correct path, etc.  but it just stopped showing up on ALL files.  I've altered and resaved the xref file in an attempt to "reset" the file. 

Any help would be appreciated.

  1. Detach the Xref 
  2. Purge & Audit the Dwg
  3. Xref it  Again

Also see if there are any Freezed layers or such

Thanks.  I've tried all of this.  It's the damnedest thing I've seen.  It was there one minute and gone the next.  It's loaded correctly, but it's like it's invisible.   All layers are on and not frozen.  I've restarted ACAD and my computer several times even.

Have you opened the xref to verify the contents are still there?

Thanks, all.  I finally figured it out.  Somehow the content of the xref file got moved 260' east and 90' north in it's model space.  So it was loaded correctly just not appearing on the paper space where it should have been.

Hi @travis_reynolds ,

 

1. Loaded xref does not display inside a drawing in AutoCAD Click here

2. switched to the World UCS and plan view. The xref appears normal

3. Enter new value for XDWGFADECTL <50>, also Zoom extents with all layers on

4. Xrefs are Missing or Not Loading When You Open Your Drawing click here

AutoCAD 2020 has the same problem.
Remove XREF and XREF in another file and nothing shows in the Viewport.

All layers inside the VP have not changed and are all on for viewing.

Still nothing shows up. You make a new VP and it all shows up.
But, if you save the file. Close out. Reopen it shows up.
Has to be an error inside AutoCAD.

Hope this helps.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.
