Hi,

Brand spankn' new to Microstation V8. LDD/Civil user.

When I draw a smart line, polygon, text, etc... in View 1 it will not show up. I know it is in there because of the Select all command. If I do the same thing in View 2-3... they show up.

Why? Setting? I do not know how to draw a simple object?

Thanks,

Check what levels are turned on in the different views.
 

If your file is 3d you need to be looking from the top while in view 1 key in to the keyin browser vi=top
if so try using 2 d file first and try your drawing technique again.. if you can see stuff ok then its your placing objects with awkward z values for the 2d length to show up....
