slothrop Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 A couple of problems keep recurring... -objects on non-active layers are not available for selection even when layers and classes are set to show/snap/modify others. This feature seems to work for a while then breaks down. -objects moved between design layers disappear. Am I missing something? Note: I'm running VW12 on an Intel Mac. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Objects on other layers must be the same scale and in Top/Plan view. 99.9% of the time objects dissapear it's a class/layer visibility issue. Quote Link to comment
Michael_Eschenbach Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Go up to the classes button at the top of the dwg, select 'classes', and set all classes as visible..... the objects should all be visible now.... The ones that have 'reappeared' are in a class that was previously set as 'invisible' Quote Link to comment
slothrop Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 Yes, the objects that had disappeared (moved) were, indeed, copied between layers with variying scales. Thanks for the solution, Ray. My other problem persists, however... The ability to select and modify objects on non-active layers seems to fade from some of my drawing files, even though I've got both classes and layers set to show/snap/modify others. The layers are visible, but not accessible. Thanks in advance for any ideas. Quote Link to comment

propstuff Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Notwithstanding that with VW12 you should be able to ForceSelect (right click) any object you can see, and it will make that layer active. Quote Link to comment
slothrop Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Got it. Thanks again, Ray. Quote Link to comment
