We have recently started to use Autocad LT2018, comming from regular Autocad 2011.

In ower drawings there are several blocks with visibility states, that sometimes when exploded, leaves hidden objects in a drawing, as far as i know i can only select those by selecting everything, and then to deselect the visible objects. leaving a slection of everything hidden.

When i then create a block with the selected items they would become visible using autocad 2011. But now in LT2018 they stay hidden. Is there a way to make these visible again?

The unhide does not work.

I have added a drawing that at view doesn't contain anything, but when you select all there are 130 objects to select?

Would like to know how i can correct this and make them vissible again.

If you had AutoCAD instead of AutoCAD LT, you could use autolisp (https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Invisible-objects-in-drawing.html) to make them visible.

FYI: You can use Properties and Qselect to see that there are 5 block references, 8 dimensions, 35 mtext entities, 38 hatch entities, and 44 polylines in this DWG.

If you use list, you can see they are Invisible.

Also, note the DXF code 60 that is set to 1, that is what makes them Invisible.
