I set the keynote schedule to be per sheet and on one of my sheet, it lists 3 keynotes. I cannot find where are they. I looked for hidden stuff, view crop, etc. could not find it at all. What can I do?
many thanks

Attach a screenshot exemplifying your problem.

Sorry I do not think the screen capture can help much.
I realize in 2010, you can highlight the keynote in the dwg. so I tried, it says "no good views to show". Then I was trying to delete them, i got a message saying 3 have been found and if delete, the associated geometry etc will be deleted as well. I can take risk to delete them but the problem is, I am using 2009 for this project and not planning to upgrade to 2010 for all kinds of reason. i do not think 2009 has this feature. what should I do?
many thanks

Is this a plan, or section? Make sure the view extents are unlimited. If it's a plan, set the cut plane really high (or low, if it's a reflected view). If it's a section, flip the direction of the view. Switch to wireframe. Reveal hidden elements. Select everything and unhide all elements and categories. Set all worksets to visible. Make sure filters aren't hiding anything. Set links to custom and turn on all categories and sub-categories, making sure you are seeing categories from all disciplines in the list.

Sorry if any of this doesn't apply to 2009, I've never used it, but... bottom line is - if a keynote is showing in the list, it exists somewhere in the view. Is it the only view on the sheet? If you delete the view from the sheet, do the keynotes drop out of the legend? Make sure you are inspecting the correct view.

Also, depending on the amount of annotation in the view, it might be better to delete the view and recreate it, than to delete geometry. That makes me nervous. Unless you know the geometry tagged by the keynotes doesn't really need to be there... If you delete the view, the keynote tags will be deleted along with it but the geometry will remain.

thanks, you got it right. I had a revit guru looking at the model, and after we change the view range to unlimited, we see the keynote. she says, it should not be doing this, something weird is going on.
