AutoCad Mechanical 2009 - Regen model space

Hello: a few days ago my code was working when I called a command that wrote text under my selected poly.

After, I had to uninstall cad and re-install (long story) - but now,

when i call the same command that was working, the text doesn't show up anymore. if I do regen after running the command, it shows up.

Maybe I had some setting set prior to my re-install that did regen on the model space? it seems it must be a setting that's different.

any ideas?

thank you,

Proctor

Make sure QTEXTMODE is set to 0

Hi Buzzard: I checked it and it was set to 0.

Thanks for your reply,

Proctor

I will look into some more.

Thanks....

I looked up Regen in the help and it had the command

regenauto that's suppose to regenerate the drawing immediately

but it was already set to on.

I wonder what else it could be?

I'll keep looking ....

In Options menu under display make sure Show text boundary frame only is not clicked.

Then do a regen.

I do not see much of anything else that will cause this.

QTEXT command = OFF

QTEXTMODE system variable = 0

and this Display option are all tied together.

Looked at all those...and it's still needing a regen after running the command. perhaps it is something in my code.

at any rate, I just wanted to write and thank you for your time helping me.

Maybe some has an answer. I am not sure whats up with it at this point.

Good Luck

Hello: a few days ago my code was working when I called a command that wrote text under my selected poly.

Tell us what "selected poly" means.

when i call the same command that was working, the text doesn't show up anymore.

What same command are you refering to?

Do you have an image in the drawing?

Are you working strictly in MS? Or do you switch into a layout and the text doesn't show, etc.?

Are you using a Lisp? If so there could be a regen missing in the code? Otherwise I'm not sure?
