Layer will NOT plot!

[andrew.robinson4HZXU]

Hey Folks,

Got a REAL wild one for you this time! Got a plan/profile sheet - profile xref'd in, sheets in paperspace - and until today it plotted fine. Now, suddenly today ONLY in this drawing (all tabs in it) the existing FGL in the profile does NOT plot. All of the sheets will plot fine, but that one layer is blank. Nothing - nada! I tried changing the color of the layer, even to a color that otherwise prints fine. Tried changing the ctb file we use. Tried changing what we plot to - we usually do dwg to pdf - I tried other outputs - nothing, nothing, and more nothing! That same line plots fine in all other drawings, but not this one, and I can't find the cause. The layer is NOT set to "don't plot", the color and linetype are fine, yet it will not produce a line in the pdf.

Any thoughts on this one? I am totally stumped.

Hola, podría ser que las capas estén restringido para el ploteo

Is this actually a line/polyline? If yes then it would be a layer/viewport thing. But if it is actually a Profile then we are dealing with a Style which may or may not be visible based on layer settings.

Did you try an AUDIT?

To expand on what @jroot said, the profile is on a layer.  Then within the profile's style settings, tangents, curves etc can each be on separate layers.  Each one of those layers can be set to non-plot.

Hey folks,

Thanks for all your efforts, but I found the solution late Friday. Turns out someone went into the drawing and changed layer 0 to be no-plot, which affected the existing grade line because it's tied to that layer due to how its style is set up.
