rsa Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I'm going back to some viewports to resize the crop object but cannot select the crop object When I 'edit crop' i go into the window but when I select-all there is nothing to select. there is definitely a crop object. I turn all classes and layers on and try select-all with no luck. I also try Alt-select with a huge marquee. I'm stumped I can't remember if I turned the original crop object white or put it on the guides class which is normally off. Either way I should be able to select it... Any ideas? Thanks Rob Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 The crop object is in a class that is turned off. To double check that you do have a crop object, enter crop edit and try to make another crop and exit crop edit. You'll get an error message. Do a search of the message board, there has been a few discussions of this. Quote Link to comment

If you put it in a class and turned it off you have to make the class visable in order to select the crop. Quote Link to comment
rsa Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 Yes I have turned on ALL classes and ALL layers and cannot select the crop object. I tried to make a new one to verify that one exists and yes there definitely is one. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Make sure the classes are visible in the drawing AND the viewport. Quote Link to comment
rsa Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 Still can't get it. All classes are on in the sheet and in the viewport. Now the navigator has stopped working. hmmm. I'll try restarting everything... Quote Link to comment
rsa Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Had to delete the workspace and replace with back up to get navigator working. However, the crop object problem remains. Quote Link to comment
David Ormsby Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Try entering Edit Crop on the viewport then Select All, see if the handles appear. It's possible the Pen got set to none or a 0 thinkness. Quote Link to comment
rsa Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Yup tried that. No luck. Very strange. I'm in the process of replacing the viewports Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I'm still convinced it's a class issue, this has come up many times. In the future always put your crop objects in the none class when you draw it. Good luck! Quote Link to comment
