EDIT: resetting the preference seems to have solved most if not al the problems..
Hi all,
my mbp recently died and I moved my setup to a 2015 Mac Pro that I used for music production so far.
I couldn't transfer my templates and preferences to the new machine, only most of my .vwx files that I had stored on a external hard drive.
I have this very weird issue where I can't see anything in the top/plan view and I can only see it if selected and/or in 3d view.
Here is what happens in more detail.
I open any old file (this happens in newly created files as well) and the page is blank where I should see the project
I make a rectangle selection around the area where the objects should be and the previously invisible objects are now still invisible but outlined in orange as if selected.
If I click away from the selection the selection disappears and the objects are still missing.
If I change the view to any other view (let's say "right isometric") then the 3d objects become visible and if I then switch back to top/plan then everything is visible except for the fact that light fixtures are now displayed as 3d objects rather than 2d symbols with labels.
Also, when in plan view the layer options menu (active only, grey others and so on) seems to not have any effect, all the layers are always shown.
in a newly created file, I insert a light fixture and nothing happens, I hover it with the mouse and see the orang outline, click on where it is supposed to be and see only the outline, switch to 3d view and it is visible, switch to 2d and it is still visible but in 3d form
Sheet layers exhibit same behaviour, they appear invisible and only by selecting them the selection can be seen, not the object of the selection.
I hope this is due to some preference I have forgot to set.

Thanks for any help, this is quite frustrating
