An Architect as sent me a drawing done in Archicad and then exported to AutoCAD for me to use.

The problem is when I open it in AutoCAD there are elements not shown on the drawing but are there.  You can see they are there by dragging your mouse over an area to highlight the elements.  When you do this the hidden elements are revealed but I can’t find a way to keep them from being hidden.

I have tried the wipeout comments, i.e. turning the frames on etc but nothing is shown and the elements are still hidden.

 

I can use the bring to front comment to pick certain hidden items but this isn't cost affective.

 

Does anyone know of a way to get all the drawings elements shown on the screen.

please try this

1-     In wipout command, select frame /on

2-     By dragging your mouse over an hidden area so that all hidden objects  highlighted.

3-     Use move command to move all highlighted elements outside the wipout area.
