Text & Dimension text become i
Hi guys,i'm having some problem when I preview my drawings for printing. When i'm zooming in the drawings in the paper space, the text and dimension text become invisible but when i zoom it out again, that the drawings become a bit smaller, i can see the text. i hope someone can help me with these problem. by the way i'm using Vista as my OS. waiting for your response. Many thanks. you dont happen to be zooming within an unlocked viewport are you? If your text is annotative, it will not be visible unless the zoom scale you are set to in your viewport is loaded into the text.For example, if you create annotative text at 1"=40, your paperspace viewport scale must be set to 1"=40' or else the text disappears.You can check your text scale in 'properties', and load scales from there.
-Ben Thanks for the reply. i already determined the problem. i think it only happens when i used the POLYGONAL VIEWPORT. that happens also to my other drawings. i don't know how it works, but does it happens to your drawing? is there anyway i could repair this problem.
many thanks in advance and more power. No amount of explaining to others on these forums seems to convince those not having the problem that those of us having the problem know what we're doing. I hate feeling like people think I'm an idiot just because I've run into a glitch in CAD that does NOT just boil down to personal settings and that it actually is a bigger issue with the program. I've used AutoCAD daily for 16 years and I've always had this problem as long as I've been using polygonal viewports. It is incredibly time consuming to work around and very frustrating to the point that it changes how I set up my drawing packages. Not anymore!
I found something that works...
First of all, the problem seems to lie in using a True Type Font (like Arial) in a polygonal viewport for any kind of text. If you don't want to sacrifice text style and return to the engineer's style of Simplex or Roman TXT, save and close your drawing and shut down AutoCAD. Next, right click the icon that launches AutoCAD and open Properties (at the bottom of the pop up list). Click on the Compatibility tab at the top of the properties window and uncheck every check box under settings but keep Disable Desktop Composition turned on. Click Apply, then Okay. Relaunch AutoCAD and voilà! No more disappearing text!~
JAM, I tried to do this and my company has those settings blocked from my computer. However, I did click "run as administrator" in my compatibility settings and this seemed to have solved my problem Disappearing text can also be a result of QTEXT being on in some drawings. Not sure if this is relevant to the problem. In some drawings I receive without text showing, I am having to turn QTEXT off, restart AutoCAD, and then my text will show on the drawing.
