assembly components missing in drawing

I have an assembly drawing with some parts missing. I have tried all the obvious fixes. This is the master rep. I do not get the option of unblank - message bar says there are no blanked assembly members to unblank. I have "turned it on and turned it off again" or would not be here seeking a solution.

I have never seen this before.

I guess I should probably add that the asembly is behaving perfectly. It's the drawing that is not.

Just shooting in the dark, but did you:

1) Start a brand new drawing with this assembly as the only model?

2) unblank all drawing layers?

3) make sure that the view you are using isn't in a some "default" explode state where some of the components are inside other components?

4) Run the detail option "update_drawing", with the value "all" ?

5) Run the Review Tab -> Update Sheets command?

Also, did you try switching the view to wireframe? I've had similar missing components only to find out it was because some of them were assembled with a little bit of an intersection between two of them. The hidden line algorithm then decided they were not there.

Try checking if the missing part has some bad surface that make creo read it as a quilt, I found a small surface that prevented creo to see the part as a solid.

For reference, what version and build code are you using? (There seems to be a dividing line between Creo 3.0 and 4.0 for methods of managing visibility.)

We're now on Creo 4.0  M040 and I haven't seen this problem since the last time (August of last year) So we must be doing something right.
