2.7 Troubleshooting Tips
The following sections provide help for the following:
2.7.1 Empty Drawings
If the Layout view is empty with no elements or custom drawing, the following situations may be occurring:
-
A new drawing was created and saved without any graphics. For instructions to re‑create the default layout, see Section 2.5, Clearing a Drawing or Reverting to a Previous Drawing or Default Automatic Layout
-
The drawing channel is set to when none has been created. For more information, see Section 6.6, Associating Custom Graphics with Classes and Elements.
2.7.2 Identifying if a Shape is Associated to an Element
By default, nothing in the drawing indicates a shape is bound to an element. Sometimes it is useful to identify the drawing shapes that are bound to elements.
To toggle between displaying and hiding the bind symbol, which is a lightning bolt, click > :
The lightning bolt symbol indicates the circle shape is bound to an element.
Elements for which a user does not have View permission do not display in the Layout view drawing. Thus, if an element is bound to an icon in the Layout view, the icon is not visible to users who do not have View permission for the element.
