Bill Tillman Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Ran into a real problem today with some MText. See the attached CAD file with the troublesome text. The second line in this should have said D.L.O. = DAY-LIGHT OPENING. Instead AutoCAD keeps auto-formatting the text and completes it as shown in the file. When I try to edit this, it will not let me move the cursor to the beginning of the lines. It dumps me into the 2nd column. The only solution I've found for this is to go to the end of the line above and delete the end of it. This of course makes the text I want to edit available but I have to readjust everything. I'm using AC 2018 but saved this down to 2007. I hope it's not a version issue. Problem Text.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I was able to do it by putting my cursor at the beginning of the word "Day" and then hit backspace once. Then I could type in "D.L.O.=" without losing any formatting. Not sure why it's doing this though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlanorh Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Had no problem adjusting and editing in 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Tillman Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Thanks. I tried CAD64's method and it worked. This is the same computer which at least twice a day I have to restart because I can no longer select objects in AutoCAD. I assume it's another desktop issue unique to this CPU. DOH!

BIGAL Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 If its crashing a lot maybe try to find a memory check program you can set these to run for a while say each lunch and they read write memory and can detect problems and then mark the error to be avoided same with hard disk find bad sectors.
