I'm working in VW 2017 (SP4) on a small house extension. I have a master file with all plans and sections and reference this drawing to specific drawings like the door types and stair drawings. In the file I draw the specific pans, sections etc. and create layout in which I do the texts and dimensions. All looks normal when I save the file. Now for the second time this week I've saved a drawing, opened it the next day and the drawing is empty except for the reference file and the layouts with all its call outs, text and dim lines. So all geometry drawn in the design layer is 'gone', doesn't show in the design layer, nor in the layouts with viewports. All layers are visible, all classes are visible both in the 'modelspace' as in the viewports. The odd thing is that in the preview of the file (space bar on a mac) it does show my geometry but if I open the file it's gone. There is a error message when opening the file 'one or more layer links have been removed from the referenced layer named "", layer links are not supported on referenced layers'. Odd thing is that whatever is deleted from the file was drawn directly in the drawing and was not in a linked layer or referenced file. I've attached the backup-file perhaps somebody could take a look at this, as you'll see the file preview will show a stair, which disappears once the drawing is opened.
