Missing View

Reviewing drawings before publishing I found a missing View information.
The view and its Layout are displaying only a Section Marker.

Looked back at the Project .back-up folder shows the View and Layout correctly.
What may cause the View dissapear ?
Is it possible to capture the View on the back-up floder and transfer (insert) it

in the .pln file ?

views can not be exported/imported.

If the drawing still exists on the layout, but is not properly linked, you will need to recreate the view. You can use find>select to copy/paste any 2d annotation from the back up to the newly re-created viewpoint and view, then right-click and relink the drawing to the new view.

Things that may cause a view to go missing:
-marker was deleted

-viewpoint was deleted

-view was part of a clone folder that was deleted

-view or folder containing view was deleted

I have never seen a view just disappear without some kind of user input (IE relink or delete view, change viewpoint to independent, etc.)

Thanks for looking into this
Unfortunately the Layout of the missing view was also a blank page.

Since I have a back up in good shape (saved under s different .pln name) I'll
create a single PDF from there and group it with the PDF's from the the project
