Vanishing layer issue, any ideas

[Tcourse]

Hi,

 

I'm sure this is just something I don't know about but this is my issue.

 

On a new document I will make several layers and they will work as normal (ie, when I create a new layer it will appear in the design layer and I can activate it and work on it whilst seeing the other layers).

 

Occasionally in a new document I will make a new layer, the program will activate it and then ALL THE OTHER LAYRES ARE NOT VISIBLE Unless I click back to them, in which case the layer I have created is not visible. I have 'show/snap/modify others' active so it can't be that. 

I think this is happening after I import a DWG (as most of my designs start with a room layout from a hotel or venue), in this case the only way I can find to get a new layer that stays visible is to duplicate the imported DWG layer and then delete all the duplicate info in the layer.

 

Anyone know how to stop my layers vanishing!

I think i read in a past thread it was something to do with the layers having the same scale value.....it happened to me when I had one scale at 1.50 and another layer at 1.20.  I could only see the 1 layer hope this makes sense but I could have it all wrong HTH

Thanks for the response, just checked all the layers, all set to the same scale so not that 😞

Are you using 2019? If so, have you activated any of the design layer filters or typed something in the search box?

If I get that correct,

you are not missing the Layers you created in Organisation or Navigation Palette,

but you are missing the geometry or content of these Layers in your Design Layer

Views ?

 

 

So, do you accidentally have "Unified View" disabled or using unsuitable sub-settings ?

[Tcourse]

Ok, I played around with the unified view settings and discovered that YES it WAS the scale issue! @Phil hunt you were right. I found that the new layer was defaulting to a different scale from the existing drawing. I just didn't know how to check in the Unified view options to troubleshoot so thank you @zoomer 

 

Thanks all for the help
