Where did my drawing go?

I drew the gauge plate end piece in the book "Microstation for Autocad
Users" Tried to insert a border and now can't find the border or the
drawing. How do you find the object you drew?

 

Who of the telepathic users want to answer?

Make sure all the layers are turned on.
Call Fit View (that icon with the mountain)
If you can't see it then there is still a slim possability that the colour
you used was similar to the background so you can't see it.
I you call Select All it should display in highlight.
If you havn't found it after that then its not there.

 

If that dangerous "save on exit" is still present then it is not entirely
impossible that you accidentally deleted everything ... and then closed (saved)
....

Is it possible that the drawing was open in read only mode, and nothing was
ever written to the file.

 

Thanks all.

I guess what I was looking for was a zoom all type command. I'll try the
suggestions. I have been working with Autocad for many years and this
Microstation doesn't come easy.

I didn't really understand your original problem so sorry if this is too
late.

The Fit View tool is an icon on the view border that looks like a couple of
black mountains.

If you don't have the scroll bars and icons on the view borders, then go to
Tools>View Control and the Fit View tool is there. The key in is Fit All (to
Fit all files including references) and then place a datapoint in the view
you want to fit.
