When I create a product on SD7.3 and save in user defined product. it loads blank.
I have create a few product and the saved projects using them. When I open the file, the page is blank, however I do have the area boxed off, with 4 red square
i have attached screen grab of what I am facing 

Why are my products not visible?

I suspect your UDP symbol contains one or more objects that are a long way away from the objects that you think make up the symbol.  This would explain why you have the red selection handles but cannot see anything: to fit the whole symbol into the window the zoom is so far out that you cannot see individual objects.

Feel free to email a project file that shows the problem to techsupport@stardraw.com and we will be happy to investigate further.

You might find it useful to watch the movie "Blank Imported DWG" at the bottom of https://www.stardraw.com/sd7/movies  Assuming my suspicion is correct you will be able to use the same technique to fix the UDP symbol by editing it: in the Product Browser, rightclick on the UDP and choose Edit Symbols, then use the technique described in the movie to locate and remove any displaced objects.

the file is of 2 screen next to each other and a cisco quad cam directly below, the boxed section is the size of the file, so not sure why its doing this.
This is the same if I drag in any of my UDP products. I scaled them then saved them. now they are all blank
I will send over the file to tech support

Thank you

Thanks for sending the file.  As suspected, the UDP symbol contains displaced objects so we have emailed you a video that shows how to identify the problems with this particular UDP symbol.

I hope this helps.
