remove detached cyan dots from drawing view

i have a rectangular boundary defined by 4 corner dots in my base drawing view.

i am working on a series of handrails. So i created an initial drawing detailed and saved. then i saved as the next assembly and replaced the model in the drawing.  

sure there are lots of dimensions that need to be re-attached but, they are there for the most part and the drawings should look consistent. 

However, i have these cyan dots that i cant access. i have tried deleting each item to find whatever it is linked to but nothing is working. i have wasted a ton of time looking for this and easily could have replicated the drawing two times over.

i want to do the replace model thing 15 times and i dont want to deal with this whatever it is each time.

Can someone tell me..

a.  if i can get rid of the dots

b.  if there is something stopping me from being able to "replace model"

c.   if this will all be all right if i just do the drawing again from scratch ( and then replace model )

d.  if i should just shut down and hope it goes away over the weekend

Can you attach the file, or at the very least a screenshot please?

Judging from the green rectangular lines around the drawing view it looks to be in raster mode  which means there is still some updating to be done. With the drawing closed open the assembly and try a rebuild all of the assembly or any assembly that the view referenced. Open  the drawing and your view should update correctly. Failing that look up forum post for how to update the view when in raster mode.

Hi! I suspect these dots might be corrupted annotation objects. Please share the files (zip) here. Forum experts can help take a look.

Many thanks!

My collegue had the same issue.

 

He had a section view and added details to this section view. These details were attached to geometry (right click > attach). With updating of other views the geometry to which these details were attached disapeared. This gave cyan dots that floated on the sheet and could not be selected or removed.

 

The solution was to right click and detach the detail box. The cyan dot disapeared.

 

Hope this info helps someone.

 

Kind regards,

Bas den Ouden
