Plots disappear when I change y-limit

Edit: Never mind. I realized after posting this, said figure isn't 9 'plot' commands. It's 9 'plot3' commands each figure viewed from [0 0]. As such, zlim should have been used to change the range. I will point out that 'plot3' appears to be one of the few commands that won't take an axes handle as an overload to the first input.

Original text below:

I created a figure with 9 subplots each of which is made of 4 curves created using the 'hold on' command. I've saved the figure and uploaded it. When I perform the following commands on the original plot or on the saved figure I get the same results.

I did not erase the box around the plots in my plotting commands so obviously something is wrong in the way this plot is made but it's not something different from what I've done before. Can anyone tell what's wrong with my figure such that I can fix my code?

I'm running MATLAB 2017b on Windows 10, x64

Thanks in advance.

subplot(331)
ylim([0 3e-6]); % does nothing

subplot(332)
ylim([0 3e-6]); % erases the contents of the axis same for subplots 3-9

"I will point out that 'plot3' appears to be one of the few commands that won't take an axes handle as an overload to the first input."

According to the documentation plot3 does accept an axes handle as the first input argument to control on which axes the line is created. See line 4 in the Syntax section.

If you have a situation where that doesn't seem to work, please post a small segment of the code that demonstrates that situation (along with any error or warning messages you received) and we may be able to help you figure out why you're seeing that behavior.

Thanks. I checked the 'help plot3' when a small section of code wouldn't work. However, a quick check appears to prove the more complete documentation is correct. I don't know why my first attempt bombed. I'll come back if I can create a (small) bit of reproducible code that highlights the problem.
