I have a user who noticed a mystery view on a drawing he's working on (see below).
No idea what created it, where it moved from, etc. he just noticed it by moving his mouse over it and saw it highlight.
Expanding the browser shows a few items of concern.
First, the view designation comes in as "8" as opposed to our standard Alpha that is set in the template.
Second, the models in said mystery view are showing the icon of a hidden component.
Third, if and when you attempt to interact with any of the components shown as "invisible", the component disappears from the browser (see 2nd screen cap).
Cheers,
Jim O'Flaherty

Right! We tracked it all back thinking we'd find where it came from, etc. but no matter where we look there's no actual section/Projected view designator, so we have no idea what it's supposed to show or where it's cut.
And then the "8" designator is really odd, if we cut a section or create any kind of view, the designator is set to Alpha and all come in as such, except this one view that appeared.
This database has some very serious issues, so this doesn't surprise me. Thankfully, the drawing is done and being released as the project is completed. Trust me when I say I hope to never see this file ever again....but I know I will.
The Engineer included a warning note for the next person that is tapped to revise it and just re-create the drawing from scratch in hopes these issues don't show again.

Hi! This is probably a corrupted view port or graphical artifact. Try copy the view and paste it to a different sheet. Or copy the entire sheet and paste it to a different drawing. If it is an Inventor dwg file, you may want to open it in AutoCAD -> Purge/All. Does it work better either way?
Many thanks!
