getting shaft holes to appear in plate

Attached is my file.  Thanks for looking at it.  It isn't very complicated, just three shafts.

Hi David:

  Try this one. I'm not sure how, but your plates were moved a long way from center so you couldnt see them. I moved them back to
center and you should now see them and the oles in them.

Yes it worked.  I see how if I zoomed waaaay out I was able to see the plate.  No idea either how it got there.  How did you move it?  I wasn't able to drag it back.  And even with your version you sent back to me I can't seem to move the plates around.

I may have got it.  In the plateing mode I'm able to move the plates around.  Is that right?

David:

Yup, on the plating screen you can select any view ( top, left..ect..) and click to move the plates around.
By doing so you center them in each plane to match your design. The holes move as the plates do.

Art,

Is there a way to remove the plates?  Maybe it's not really necessary cuz if I don't want them I can ignore them, but I'm just wondering.  I tried right clicking on the front plate and selected remove.  I was warned: This will remove all mechanisms, are you sure? 

I thought it would just be the plates but it did indeed remove everything.  Of course my work was saved, so it was fine.

Dave:

Just go to the plating tab, and uncheck the ones you dont want.
