Hi All
I am using ArcGIS10 Windows 7 on a 64-bit machine (more than passes the minimum requirements), with an ArcView license.
When I am editing in ArcMap, some of the features that I can clearly see on the screen are not selectable, even though they are set as selectable in the selectable layers. Just wondering why this is. All of our features are stored in feature datasets inside of a file geodatabase. It's funny because I have a building layer, symbolized based on a field in the attribute table, and I can only select one or two of the buildings, both when editing and not. One minute this happens, and the next, everything is alright.
Another problem that I have is features that are disappearing at certain scales. I do not have any reference scales set, they just are not there. Sometimes when I zoom out, they pop back up, right where they are supposed to be.
Another problem... When I export a map, everything looks good in the ArcMap window, but once the export is complete (to a jpeg), some features are missing.
I think everything is related somehow, but I'm not sure. Everything seems to be problematic with the layers being visible/selectable or not.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi All,

Did anyone get a solid resolution from Esri to this issue? I'm experiencing the same issue with features stored in a file Gdb (10.1 SP 1). I create a feature or make a change in the attribute table to an existing feature, it disappears. Then when I create or copy that feature from a backup copy of another dataset, the original feature returns!
The issue also occurred when I changed a label expression for a line feature where the line disappeared. I'm using a check out replica from SDE but that shouldn't be causing it. The feature classes are stored in a file GDB when checked out.
Any advice or assistance would be great.

Thanks
Chris
