Detail Drawings turned red

[Anonymous]

After saving view and placing a Detail drawing on a plan, all of my Detail drawings turned red. Apparently I can copy and edit them, but if I draw something new or add new text, it wont appear when I update it on the plans.


Any idea what could have happened?

When you say you place your drawing on the plan, I am hoping you mean on a layout page.

The colour may be due to the pen set that has been set in the drawing settings.
Or maybe you have placed it on a Master layout - they by default will appear red when you set that master to be used in a standard layout.

The drawing not updating may be because it is set to manual update in the drawing settings.
You can set it to automatic or you can right click on it and choose 'Update' to do it manually.
If it still does not update, then it may be set to use a different layer combination to what you are looking at in plan. You may be placing the new elements in layers that are turned off in the drawing you have placed - hence you won't see any change.
