PINK Object

[CAD_Boy]

I have been attempting got get a pink object out of a plot i have been working on and I haven't had any success. I have can not select it, I have tried turning on all layer, and classes with view all layer/snap/ modify, the same with the classes, but still i was unable to select it. Anyone able to help?

does the pink blob actually print?

How about posting an image of it.

[CAD_Boy]

Yes it does print, and i will get a image asap.

what are you class options set to?

[CAD_Boy]

I have set them all to none.

Have you tried the Force Select command in the contextual menu?

Put the cursor over the object and right click (or hold down the Control key and click if you are on a single button mouse), and choose Force Select.

This should automatically switch the layers and classes so that the object you are pointing to becomes selectable.

Remember, to be selectable, the object has to be on a layer that is selectable, is in the same view and has the same scale as the active layer, and it must be in a class that is visible and selectable.

Is it a 3d object? Failed solid additions and subtractions show up as pink objects.

Sometimes such an object will 'fail' when a VW 2008 is imported into VW 2009.

I've also had them 'fail' when done one addition, subtraction, intersection too many to a solid shape.

.....hmmm

Mark I agree with you on subtracting a solid, but it could also be that he has set "grid to print" and is infact seeing the origen/centre point of his drawing, it could be that the grid is set so big that the lines are not visible.
