Vanishing Master layout information

Anonymous
Not applicable
The title blocks on my master layouts are not showing up in the layouts.
I've had some other glitches over the last week, so I reinstalled and updated last night.
This is only happening in one project (so far...).
All the master info is on the Archicad layer.
I checked pen #s to make sure they are visible regardless.
I tried making a new master layout from scratch. Still no information.

Does anyone have a clue what this could be?

To clarify the above:

I am working in AC11. 1114 USA Full.

I was able to work around by opening a blank and merging the project into it.

Another hour wasted (which should be spent savoring a Manhattan or two) while I wanted to get the project done so I can send it to the client Monday....

Peter check to see you have Master Items on Layout checked.

Also, sounds obvious, but make sure all appropriate layers are on. (Try turning on all layers.) It's easy to forget that the layouts have these just like any other view, and things migrate to other layers. Generally, I've learned (the hard way) to put everything in the Layout on the "ArchiCAD" layer.

Says he's done so Richard, but it pays to check your other suggestions also.

It has happened to me that I've ended up with multiple "ArchiCAD Layer" layers, and only one of them actually stays on permanently. So it never hurts to try turning everything on.

That sounds like a CadImage problem...

Right again Richard, Link.

The way some 3rd party AddOns create there own Layers/Fills/Lines/Zone categories is a major reason I refuse to use them.

Some should take note of the way OBJECTiVE works.

I've had that problem too now and then. I think it relates to masters copied from other projects. It's been cured every time by "Show All Layers".
And I don't have any Cadimage addon.
