Brands Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I need help FAST! The ploblem: some of my text in my drawing is unselecteble for some reason. No it's not locked in a viewport! Just not selectable. HELP! plz Quote
ReMark Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Is the text on a layer called Defpoints? Or.... Is the text on a layer that is locked? Quote
lpseifert Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Is the text annotative? If so an audit usually fixes. Quote
Brands Posted September 21, 2009 Author Posted September 21, 2009 Is the text on a layer called Defpoints? Or....Is the text on a layer that is locked? Neither, nothing seems to be locked. Is the text annotative? If so an audit usually fixes. Text is not annotative... And the weird thing is, it's not locked at all times...I just had one I could edit again and 5min. later it was untoughable again. Quote
Brands Posted September 21, 2009 Author Posted September 21, 2009 I may not have the solution, but I think we figured out the couse... I´ve been using fields in my drawing and sinds I did my normal text got scruwed up... Annyone know the problem? Quote
Brands Posted September 21, 2009 Author Posted September 21, 2009 A couple of times regenall when zoomed on the text will help. But there has to be a fix for this. Quote
ReMark Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Try closing down the drawing and AutoCAD then reverse the procedure. Now what happens? Quote
Brands Posted September 21, 2009 Author Posted September 21, 2009 Nothing, the text starts locked, well some the texts, outhers are unlocked. As it has been as I started this morning. Quote
skipsophrenic Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Try running an audit of the offending drawing, Quote
tzframpton Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 If it's on the 0 layer and Defpoints is Frozen, anything on the 0 layer becomes unselectable, or is it vice versa? It's something like that. Quote
Brands Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 What is the source of the drawing? Do you mean the file location? It's on a lokal companyserver. I made the drawing on a template made by myself. Try running an audit of the offending drawing, I'll try it. If it's on the 0 layer and Defpoints is Frozen, anything on the 0 layer becomes unselectable, or is it vice versa? It's something like that. it's not on the 0 layer, in fact nothing is in the 0 or Defpoints layer. > the weird thing is: it started (also with the other drawing) when fields where used. In other drawings there is no problem, and no fields. Quote
Brands Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 Update: Audit does nothing to the problem. Quote
SuperCAD Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 QSAVE is what you want. Type in QSAVE (regular save or saveas doesn't work). Quote
SuperCAD Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I may not have the solution, but I think we figured out the couse...I´ve been using fields in my drawing and sinds I did my normal text got scruwed up... Annyone know the problem? It's not a problem with fields. Apparently, there is a known problem in AutoCAD with how it handles true type fonts that causes some text to be unselectable. I have a block of text (no fields in it) that will occasionally behave this way and all I do is type in QSAVE to bring it back to normal. Quote
Brands Posted September 25, 2009 Author Posted September 25, 2009 That would be weird, I QS all the time. I's become an automatism, do it about every 5-6 actions. But I'll check it out. Quote

Just not selectable. Chech whether text is an annotation object displaced ( moved) in the current annotation scale.Try to temporarily set the ANNOALLVISIBLE variable to 1. May be the drawing from a non-genune DWG file format. Regards_______ Quote

I'ts just a text that was ones a Mtext and now a singel lined text, in my paperspace. The drawing was completely done in AutoCAD and so are all the components. I'll try it though! Thank you! Thank you all for your sugestions! Quote
