AEC Object not showing up in Paperspace

[cakewalk2]

Doors (in an xref) are showing up in model space, but not in paper space.   The layer is not frozen in the paper space viewport.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

What AEC objects are you referring to please? This is an AutoCADLT forum, no AEC content is generated with this software.

FWIW reasons objects never show up in a viewport are either:
- Wrong view of modelspace: it is looking at area A, when you want it to be looking at area B.
- Layer Overrides set in that specific viewport are hiding them. You seem to have ruled this out, but I ask you double-check.
- these are Annotative objects and you need to set the viewport to a lot scale.

The objects that are not showing up are doors.   That layer is not frozen in the viewport.

I don't use AEC..... I did a 'list' of the object in the xref and that's what it said it was  --- AEC_DOOR

What is a lot scale?  The scale of this particular viewport is 1/32 = 1'-0"

Thank you.

So the file is from AutoCADARCHITECTURE (ACA) : got it.

Cycle the viewport scale to 1:1 them back to this one, does the problem go away?
You will need to ensure ANNOAUTOSCALE variable is set to 4, maybe even ANNOALLVISIBLE variable set to 1.

OR...
Are you using a very old version of LT and that file is from a much newer version of ACA? If not (say you are in LT202x), you'll need to dumb-down the file and convert those AEC objects to stock blocks: in LT, close this file then make a copy of it for safe keeping, then you click on the big red A in the top-left corner of the program, under SAVEAS there is a DWGCONVERT tool, use that on the file.

wow - thank you for all of those tips....   

I tried all of them, but they didn't work....

However, I will file those solutions over in my memory banks for possible future problem solving... lol

It is a small area and I will just copy some doors over into the drawing...

I probably should have just done that in the first place and saved a lot of time - LOL

Thanks again.
