Text Fill

[Howard.Wernow]

When we import a .dwg from a client and then plot it, all the text boxes plot out as filled in black rectangles, we think its system variable, does anyone know how to fix this?

I think I know what it is.... click the text and open the Properties box. It should be MTEXT, not just TEXT. if it is MTEXT, then check for a setting called Background and see if it's set to Yes. if so, then AutoCAD creates a raster image behind the text and it's turning into a black box in your plot. you'll have to turn this off. Do this to all the text and make sure the Background setting is off, you can do this globally by using the QSELECT command to highlight all the MTEXT in the drawing.

Hope this helps. :)

***EDIT***
I just noticed you're on 2005. I don't know if this setting was avaliable in your version, might wanna check with someone who has the latest version. if you can Upload the file I have 2007 and I can check for ya. :wink:
