FILE EMPTY BUT SHOWING 1155 OBJECTS AND 393700 INCHES TALL

Hi everyone. Been working on this file and was getting to print and cut. I saved it then went to another file to get a color then went back to the file and there's nothing. It shows 115 objects, and total is 393700 tall.
I zoom out and nothing. Rulers are also not visible but are turned on.
Numbers for placement are off and sizing is huge. The icon of the file shows up as a Black square. I renamed the backup file and made a copy of it and it also doesn't work. Still have the original back up file.
Can anyone make any sense of this? I'll have to recreate the file from scratch if nothing works. Running SignLab 10 build 15. Thanks in advance.

I've seen this before. You've got a corrupted or open ended object in there.
See if you can zoom to sign blank and poke around to find the offending object and delete it

Hi Neil.

The thing is there is nothing in the sign blank. You cannot see any vectors or images on the screen no matter how much you zoom out. If you go select all, it shows you have objects but you cannot see them. They show up in the layer viewer. And if you go select by object, size, etc, you can select something. But you cannot see it. You can copy and paste in another file. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It all depends on what you copied to the clipboard. I've also seen images cause this issue now that I think of it. I've never had issues with open objects. Doesn't mean I won't. Thanks for the tip. I'll start deleting bitmaps then open paths and see what happens. Thanks for your reply. I also was working on a huge canvas and I know Signlab hates that.

Look at the x and y where the objects are located, they are negative values. And look at the overall size of the objects. They are the same and 393700 inches square. That's 32,000ft x 32000ft.!
I deleted all open paths which also included weed borders and ALL images in the file and you still cannot see anything.
