MISSING NOTES in Layout

I opened my project this morning and every note, curve, and dimension are missing from the layout. The titleblock and text all missing.

I was able to recover by selAll and copy/pasting into a new layout in the same project. even if i create a new project and import the layout, it will import the problem.

what’s up with that? Anybody know?

Hi Na Than,

Please run systeminfo in your Rhino command line and post the result.

If you could post an example of the issue would be very helpful as well. Thanks.

This layout should have a plethora of curves and text and dims

when i SelAll, you can see it’s grabbing everything on the layout.

here you can see SelDim grabs all the dims

Any particular reason this is turned down? You could turn it up in the File>Properties>View Settings.

Try the “Show all“ command. To me this happens a lot when I do isolate objects in Model view and switching to Layout views all my dimensions and texts are hidden. I run the “Show all“ and they are back.
