    Default Text selection in model/paper space(CAD2K)

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Im back with another text question .This one Im sure has a simple answer,must be a setting I dont yet know about.Ive recently opened a drawing and I can select the text in both paper space and model space ,so is there a system variable that I need to alter to be able to do this?Presently I can either write and select my mtext in either pspace or mspace not both.Another weird thing is that when I select this text in pspace the title block vanishes and wont come back.

    Are you absolutely sure that the "text" in Paper Space is actually text and not attributes attached to the title block - this could explain what you're seeing.
    Tip: Please do not PM or email me with CAD questions - use the forums, you'll get an answer sooner.

    No its just mtext not an attribute,its the same text that is in both p/mspace.Doesnt always select straight away have zoom in a bit, then it selects and my title block then vanishes.Maybe Ive loaded a lisp that does this and am not aware,or Im not meant to be able to do this,maybe its a bug or from another programme.Strange one though.We plot text at 2.5mm,the drawing is 1:50 scale and the text height in both mspace and pspace is 125mm,should be this only in mspace!So its as if I can select something in mspace I shouldnt be able to.
