blocks in viewports

[Juice]

Hey everyone

This is kind of strange but i all of these stop signs placed in the right area ( they are blocks). Now when i am in model space they are showing up. But when i tile over to paper space and inside the viewport they are not showing up. And only way to have them show up is if i explode them. Now they layer is on, not frozen or locked. Is there any other way to have them show up other than exploding them.

Thanks so much for any suggestions

The first thing I'd suggest is checking to make sure that the layer the blocks are on isn't frozen within the viewport itself. To do this go into paperspace and then enter modelspace via the viewport. Next activate your 'Layer control' dialogue box and scroll to the far right of the layer properties and you should see a 'freeze' icon coupled with a rectangle, this is the 'Freeze in current viewport' option. Make sure that non of the layers have this on (blue).

From the symptons you provide it does sound like a 'viewport freeze' issue. When you explode the blocks I'm thinking that the lines revert back to their original layer when the blocks were created (probably layer '0') and layer '0' isn't frozen in the viewport in question, hence you see them when exploded. Naturally, when you are in tilemode 1 (modelspace) you'll see all the layers as they are only effected by the normal 'freeze' command in here and as you've stated these are all turned on already.

Hope that helps.
