Xref Not Appearing iun Paper Space

[LarryS23]

For some reason, my xref'd drawing is not appearing in a paper space layout. All the layers are turned on and there is no viewport freeze.

What's in modelspace besides your Xref? 

[LarryS23]

An aerial image. A surface. Feature lines and polylines. Oh a watershed analysis component to the surface as well

What layer is your xref inserted on?  Is that layer frozen in the viewport?

[LarryS23]

On layer 0. Everything is unfrozen.

Explain why you are putting your xref in paperspace and not in modelsapce.

[Joe-Bouza · Accepted solution]

Layers may be frozen in the vport but not globally. Poke open the vport ands roll right in the layer dialog to check vpfreeze

The  title of your post is ambiguous. You may know what it means but the wording is alittle confusing to readers of the forum. So your XREF isn't 'appearing' in Paperspace, correct? So where is your XREF located? Did you plop it down in modelspace or paperspace?

Is it possible to upload a screenshot of modelspace? If you XREF is in modelspace, draw an arrow pointing to your XREF as it sits in modelspace then include the arrow in your screenshot. Can you also upload a screenshot from your layout tab with the viewport centered over your target area. The goal of your uploaded images is to see an image that shows where the XREF should be and compare it with an image that shows your XREF missing. 

[LarryS23]

Well the xref file contains contours that I want to show. See the attached images.

Got it.

[LarryS23]

Whoops my bad. An easy fix. Sometimes I forget to check that if I do not remember freezing the layers myself. 😐

[Joe-Bouza]

FYI if you didn't already know. Using the snow flake to freeze object in a view port defaults as vpfreeze. this can be confusing because it wont be frozen in MS

Glad you got it
