Parts disappearing when selecting "Fit"? (NX5)
Parts disappearing when selecting "Fit"? (NX5)
(OP)
I've been working on a part in NX5 (5.0.4.1), and just today after using the "Fit" command, the part (all solids, datums, sketches, etc) disappeared. The part navigator is intact, and when I hover over where the part was, the status bar indicates the model is still there (it shows the feature I'm hovering over), but nothing is visible. All of my layers are visible, so I know that's not an issue.
I was able to fool around with the show/hide functions and somehow got it back (even though I never technically "hid" it), but now the model isn't showing up in drawing views. All layers on visible and nothing is hid, is my part file corrupt or something?

I can't guarantee it isn't some other form of filter that is affecting your drawing to do with layers or the contents of reference sets. There just isn't any reference to those in your question.

I selected "Fit" via the right-click menu, and I did it very quickly and hit save before I realized I lost the display.
In the "Displayed Part" tab of the Properties window, it shows Display Scale = 0.000. Can I manually change this somewhere?

I fixed this problem hitting "Fix", then randomly selecting areas of the screen until the status bar showed "1 item selected". This item was the datum axis, which was then highlighted in the part navigator. After deleting this axis (and fixing the one sketch that depended on it), everything seems back to "normal". Whew.
