Spent a whole weekend trying to fix a messed up layer state in a huge civil plan set
I was working on a set of grading plans for a site in Phoenix, and my layer states got totally corrupted after a crash. I thought reloading the saved state would fix it in like 10 minutes. Nope. Every viewport had different layers frozen or turned off, and some annotation was just gone. I had to go viewport by viewport, over 60 of them, and manually reset everything by comparing it to a PDF backup. It took me from Friday night until Sunday afternoon, basically 16 hours of pure tedium. I'm still not sure if I should have just rebuilt the sheet from scratch. Has anyone else had a layer state disaster this bad, and what's your recovery plan?
