TritechCADMan Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm not really sure how to describe this little quirk, but I'll try my best. Before I upgraded to 2012 LT, i had no issues with the text formatting box and its location on screen. I could move it and it would stay in place. In 2012 LT, whenever I edit a piece of text, the window pops up directly centered over the text, instead of above it as it does on my co-workers computers. I can move it as many times as i want, but it always pops up in the same spot. Has anyone else ever encountered this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Did you get your problem resolved on your own or are you still in need of assistance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Welcome to CADTutor. Are you talking about editing TEXT or MTEXT? If Text, check your TEXTED settings against those described in the left image. If it is MTEXT, check your MTEXTFIXED setting against the right image. Or you could just ask one of your coworkers to enter TEXTED and/or MTEXTFIXED at the commandline and see what number comes back as the current system variable setting for each of those variables, then set yours to match.

TritechCADMan Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 This was for MTEXT. I will have to wait for my co-workers to get in, but I just tried changing the system variables for both texted and mtextfixed with no results. I'm not quite sure whats going on.

ReMark Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Did you try setting MTEXTED equal to "OldEditor"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TritechCADMan Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Did you try setting MTEXTED equal to "OldEditor"? Yeah, it would not let me edit text because of the formatting being used once i did that though, so i had to set it back to internal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadgad Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The text formatting toolbar behavior can be adjusted somewhat as shown in the SYSVDLG image as previously shown. I believe the behavior you are after is as highlighted in this image? Seems like as ReMark suggested you want to use the Old Editor. Might it not be compatible with the ANNOTATIVE Mtext?

ReMark Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Sorry, I cannot come up with a solution. Maybe another forum member will have better luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Sounds to me like you need to try a repair or if that doesn't work a complete uninstall then reinstall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
