selectable invisible objects - please appear

[Brooke]

I developed a minor problem - nothing drawn in a elevation VP is visible; attributes can't be changed from 'none.' Current class is 'on' in VP. Invisible objects may be selected and edited but not made visible. This is a new step backwards.

99% of the time something is invisible it's a class issue. Maybe you could be more clear, it sound like you are talking about a viewport, but then mention selecting and editing objects. Are you in annotation mode?

Yes, Ray. And not, both. On a sheet layer. Had no probs for a long while... Week or so, anyway. Current VP has class of the invisible objects as being visible. Curious thing to me is I can't change attrib of that object to 'by class' which is visible, but now I find I can change it to something else, other than 'none' or 'by class,' and it becomes visible.

Sorry, here it is: the 'set at creation' somehow got unchecked on the class attrib setup in organization. It happened to a bunch of similar classes. There is no reason why I would intentionally set it up as such, so it must have been a little birdie.

Thank you, Ray.

It seems to me that any attribute lister and 'organization' settings should show an entry to reflect 'none' owing to an 'off' setting of 'use at creation,' as without it the info may be incomplete and misleading.
