Some lines not visible in model space unless you select them

[Anonymous]

Hi, I am having some issues in models space. I have bathroom floor plan layout and not all lines show up on black screen (shower tray area, right wall hatch, etc). Lines are not black, they are white. I have used many commands such like: Regen, Regenall, Audit, Purge and Recover file. Nothing worked so far. I have copied content to a brand new file, problem still persists. I don't want to select every single object/line and change the display order bringing it to front. It's too time consuming. Would you possible know what is causing this problem and how to sort it out but just using one command and doing it in one go instead? I will much appreciate the answer. The file is attached. cheers

Show us a screenshot of what you see: there is nothing wrong in your DWG file here, unless you don't know that color 7 is always called 'white" but you should be focused on the color of the box next to the name and not the name itself.

You have got some anonymous blocks in your dwg that are blocking your hatches and linework. With selection cycling on you can search around and find them and erase them. Here is your file back with a couple of them erased so you can see the hatches. Don't know if that was all of them or not.

One more idea on this is to use the QSELECT command and that way you will be able to see all the blocks with the * prefix on the name.

Thank you for your reply, but it's not object or layer colour related issue. I have attached screen shoot comparison image. The top one shows shower area as normal. The bottom one shows more objects to place when you use box selection. They are visible only when selected. I still don't know how to make them all visible without selection.

Thank you for your reply. Can you tell me please how did you open window with the list of blocks which you can individually delete within selected area? I can't access that via properties or quick properties right clicking on the selected area. What window/ command allows you to see the list of these blocks which are hiding the content located underneath?

>>>... how did you open window with the list of blocks ...<<<
Look up SELECTIONCYCLING in HELP

As Dean said, I had selection cycling turned on to get the window in the picture. I do think that using QSELECT to select the blocks would be the easiest

way to find them all.
