Title: layers on ACAD 2014
Post by: vinnyg on January 29, 2014, 10:11:29 AM

Hi guys,

Not really new to ACAD, but very new to version 2014 after using r14 for 15 years. Anyway the question I need
help with is why after finishing my drawing when I am in model space, nothing seems to be out of place, but
when I go to paper space, a lot of my text is gone. I think it's frozen, but I haven't done anything to make it so. Any
ideas why this is happening? I appreciate any help!!

thanks,

vinnyg

It could possibly be annotive text maybe?

Yes, it is, I just checked. So what can I do to fix the problem?

Turn off the annotative scaling.

I hate to appear stupid, but how do I turn it off?

There are so many changes since R14 that it makes one feel stupid. Don't worry about it. I made a pretty big jump a few years ago. I know where you are coming from.

Select one of the text items. Right click, and select similar. Then in your properties box to the right of "Annotative" you can select "No". Check your Text Style, also, to make sure it is turned off there.

This is a very useful tool if you utilize different scaled viewports within a file. If you work with different scales, I would suggest you get familiar with the benefits of annotative scaling.

Annotative text and dimension styles can have some good uses: http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=46012.0 (http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=46012.0)
