For the last couple of weeks I am unable to create any floor plans from the model using `create plan views` or from any other method. The Create Plan Views icon, gives you three options and all of them produce the same. Either a blank black CAD screen or a grayish empty drawing screen set to an isometric view. I am not doing anything different than I have in the last 5 years but despite a reinstall it hit and miss but definitely getting worse. Any ideas?
The Create Drawing process uses the Drawing Seed templates set by the configuration, so if you are seeing a black background or a grey background in iso view it sounds like the seeds being used are incorrect.
Which version are you using?

Hi Marc
I am using 08.11.09.866.
Today I have tried a repair/ install and uninstalled the content advisor and connect edition because I seamed to get worse after updating with these.
CONNECT Advisor would have no effect on the application, I recommend reinstalling that, it is a very useful source of information.
If you had AECOsim Building Designer CONNECT Edition installed it would also not have any default affect on V8i, they are separate installations and configurations.
If you tried to share resources such as drawing seeds between the two that could be involved?
I have not tried to share resources between the two. I would not know how to or why. I am using the same work flow I have for the last 5 or so years without any problems until now. What can I do?
Hi Wayne,
Can you check your default drawing seed location as per this wiki?
https://communities.bentley.com/products/building/building_analysis___design/w/building_analysis_and_design__wiki/10124/default-location-of-drawing-seed-files
Also verify that the seed files are still in their expected location. If the root cause is a configuration issue a reinstall/repair may not change the behavior.
