PCB not visible anymore

My PCB (in 2D) is not rendering anymore. Whole screen is black. 3D rendering still works.

Hi Volker

After carefully reviewing the project, it seems that the issue arises from one of the silk texts,

"Do not over tighten"

, being placed far outside the PCB layout, on the far bottom left of the screen. As a result, when you click the "Zoom to fit" button, Flux attempts to fit everything onto the screen, but since the text is so far away, everything gets scaled down, causing the screen to go black.

How you fix this is by just deleting the silk text that is way off the PCB layout

"Do not over tighten"

and then click the "zoom to fit" button and that should work. You can also follow the steps below

Switch to
PCB
Layout by clicking the PCB button at the top
On the left side, open the objects list by clicking
Objects
Navigate and find the silk text that is not on the pcb layout but is on the objects list (it should be the 2nd one as shown in the screenshot below but please confirm)
Delete it
Click "zoom to fit button on the bottom right

Let me know if this fixes the issue for you!
