I cannot view my drawing no longer. I see the file size is the same but when I open the file no drawing. Help please.
Turn on the Drawing Explorer window and see if there are shapes on the page.
Not sure where this setting is. Can you point in direction? Not sure what happened as I was working in drawing yesterday and I know I saved the drawing but when I opened this am no drawing even tho it says in file explorer there is 2MB in file. Thanks for your support.
file ==> options ==> advanced ==> bottom of page ==> turn on developer mode
back to the drawing
Developer==>drawing explorer
or
use cursor to make a selection box...if there are shapes, their selection boxes will show
(designers can disable selection boxes but designers only do that for very specific reasons...usually for very complex geometries)

A Short video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJybq2qXELQ) about what Vojo wrote
If the file does not contain secret information, you can send it to me by email gcroc@yandex.ru to investigate the causes of this behavior. Perhaps an error occurred that upsets the structure of the document. Sometimes it can be fixed.
When I turned on developer I get this
Expand the tree nodes in the Document Explorer and you will get to the shapes. My picture now shows 5 shapes.
See if there are shapes in your document.

Explorer shows that there are shapes and that the structure of the document is not broken.
The next step is to check the visibility of the layers.

In layer properties

So the matter is not in the layers.
You still don't want to send me the file? This could speed up troubleshooting.
file sent 2MB
Perhaps you accidentally moved the shapes or zoomed in. Or unsuccessfully switched AutoSize. But now all the shapes are far from the page.
Just select them and move them to the right place.
sorry not sure what you mean ?
I later added a picture for clarification.
when i open drawing from file explorer all i see is attachment
That worked !!! OMG thanks...see attached how can I center the drawing ?
the drawing is 'stuck' in upper right corner and i want to center at about 11x17 size or smaller see attachment
You can move and stretch it. But the drawing is very "heavy" and changes only after a few seconds.

thanks but not working for me. what do you mean drawing is very 'heavy'?
how can i reduce my drawing page ? Its really huge
Quotewhat do you mean drawing is very 'heavy'?
3000 shapes and many of them are built-in pictures.
On my machine, the process of recalculating formulas when resizing occurs within 10 seconds. It's hard to work with such a document.

Design => Size => More Page sizes
It would also be useful to simplify shapes like "City", "Firewall". Let it be less beautiful, but more convenient.
