No objects can be selected in any layer

[Cerveza Little]

Using 11.5.0 in XP, a large 7.5 MB file suddenly "died" when none of the objects in any of the layers could be selected. The scales are uniform and views all plan. I have used this file for two years without a hitch, then suddenly this happened. Writing the file over to the Mac, I have the same problem on that platform. I noticed this usually happened on a layer-by-layer basis when objects from another Vectorworks file were pasted into a new layer and the class from the source file was automatically created in the destination file. I have been removing these classes in order to select points/lines within the new layer. However, I had never lost all of the selectability of all objects in all of the layers at the same time.

what settings are the classes and layers?

if both are set to

show/snap/modify others and

turn all classes and layers on

and you can still not pick anything then

you should submit the file as a bug

I've found that the class settings can cause this, make your class options:

Show/Snap/Modify Others

I had my classes set to show only. Probably an inadvertant click in the Class settings when I wasn't looking closely. Resetting Classes to Show/Snap/Modify did the trick. Thank you. You saved me a lot of time.
