Hi.

Press 4 to align view to objects, then click on the eye icon at the bottom indicator bar to change layer to visible; possibly it will solve the problem.

OMG you are a life saver! the 4 worked! I have been faced with this problem several times and have never been able to figure it out! i have looked and looked for the answer and knew that it had to be a click of a button, but never could find the button! Thank you so much for taking the time to help!!!
