Email address has been unblocked.

Do me a favor?  Put a red circle around a couple of the problem areas then in your email tell me what SHOULD appear in each of the areas that you are NOT seeing on your end.

I'll leave my email address unblocked for 15 minutes starting now.  11:23 a.m. EST.  Go!

Sorry...you timed out.  It is now 12:30 p.m. and I must block my email address again.

	Like I said, we don't need the entire drawing. You can try posting them directly here or I can temporarily unblock my email address and you can email the drawing to me. You've got 30 minutes to decide. It is now 10:52 a.m. on the east coast of the U.S. Where are you located?

	If I wanted to steal your drawings I'd just hack your system. My intention is to try and help you though. You're sent a PDF and everything shows up but objects are missing in the drawing file itself. Could it be a corrupt drawing? Did you ask that the file be sent to you again?

	Are you sure this isn't just a case of missing xrefs?

	the dwg files seem to be incomplete and incomprehendable, but when i asked for a pdf file i can see that it is a complete drawing. i know you asked to see a partial drawing but i'm sorry this is a case sensitive project and i'm not allowed to show any part of the drawings. any ideas or avenues to pursue would be helpful, i know without the drawings you really can't see what i'm talking about and i apologize for that.

	Normally there should be no problems opening a drawing done with an older version of AutoCAD in one's newer version. The problems you are experiencing with hatch patterns and some dimensions is puzzling. Can you post a sample drawing (one you are having a problem with) so someone here can take a look at it? It doesn't have to be the entire drawing. What hatch patterns aren't you seeing? Are they "normal" AutoCAD patterns? Some dimensions don't appear? Do you have any information on them you could share with us?
