    Default Drawing disappears in Plot preview

    We have a project I was able to plot from earlier in the week. When I or our other CAD techs open the drawings and try to plot, the drawing disappears in the plot preview. It is only happening in one project. I checked everything I know to get it to work, but am unsuccessful. Any ideas??

    Thanks,

    John

    Question Re: Drawing disappears in Plot preview

    Hi

    Is Plot Preview completely empty?

    Or

    Are Paperspace (Layout) Objects present?

    What is the system variable TARGET set to?

    If not 0,0,0 then try resetting to 0,0,0 (A search within the forums will supply the information required to accomplish that, if needed).

    Has the Plot Style Table (CTB or STB) been altered?

    If still no joy, can you please post an example drawing file (and associated support files).

    Have a good one, Mike

    We figured it out. The XREF path had changed not allowing it to be seen.

    Thanks for your help.
