I use Autcad Architecure 2010 on my computer.
After I created or made a multiline text, the ribbon in autocad is getting all blurry. None of the icons in the ribbon will work (see attached picture).
I always have to shut down Autocad and restart it to continue my work.
I've recently noticed that my multiline text boxes in old drawings have been splitting themselves into multiple multiline text boxes. They aren't exploding into single line text because it won't let me use the convert command to turn them into multiline because they are already multiline.
I know the dimassoc command can be set to a certain value to cause all dimensions to explode but is there some kind of command that could have change itself and is causing this problem?
We're transitioning from ACA2012 to ACA2014. I'm also trying to get away from putting my blocks in DesignCenter and having our users insert Annotation (tags) from the Ribbon bar.
When I insert our door tag (or any schedule tag) from the ribbon bar, it is automatically changing the text style to the current text style. I'd rather it just use the style built into the tag. I know that can be controlled in the Designcenter content (right-click) - but how do I change that from the ribbon bar?
When I am trying to edit mtext and also when i the DDEDIT command to edit multi-line dimension strings, the text becomes obscured. So far nothing makes it visible again until I exit out, which is (as I am sure you can understand) making editing text extraordinarily challenging.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm getting a little frustrated with the multiline attribute. Every time a place it in a block and save the file, the tag moves to the left when I re-open the block file or try to insert the block in another file. how to stop the tag from moving? FYI Locking the tags position makes no difference.
View 9 Replies View RelatedUsing AutoCAD Architecture 2009. I recently updated my office's rom tags to use the multiline attributes for several properties. A couple of my officemates are getting an errant behaviour that i am unable to replicate.
- sometimes when using a tag, the multi-line attributes move themselves, by alot. up or down, even change the text alignment. This can happen in constructs and in views.You can see the displacement as soon as you start dropping the tag, the block ghost will be all messed up.
- starting a new view from scratch will make the tags behave normally (a constuct that tags properly can result in a view that does not.)
- if tagging the constructs (i, know, i know), copying out the spaces to a new file, tagging, then copying in the geometry will also fix the tags. if i copy ALL the problem persists. If i remove the tags and purge the styles and drawing, the problem persists.
is this a fluke, or is there a file setting of some sort that my mates have (de)activated?
i have two projects that are working without a hitch, and two that are badly misbehaving.
I use AutoCAD 2008 LT. I have a problem when trying to use multiline text. The text box will only allow me to write vertically, but when the text is completed, by left clicking on a grip and changing the rotation angle to 0 degrees, it reads horizontally. However, if I try to amend it, vertical text is the result. I do not have this problem with single line text. Whilst it is possible to read vertically, it is time wasting.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a situation where I'm adding some text and want to identify the part with a part#. For example Item 1, I want to add a circle to the number one for it to stand out on my text notes.
The same goes for each line item I have for my text note. For example, if I have 5 lines of text notes, I want to be able to put for example a triangle around 1 thru 5 line items.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI used to have a lisp routine for selecting multiple strings of single line text and converting them to a single multiline text box. I think there was even an express tool in previous versions of CAD to do this. I am in 2011 now, and I can not find a command for this. I would even settle for simply changing single line to multiline without adding multiple strings.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen creating text in model space it appears both mirrored and rotated 90 degrees to the horizontal. However, when I create text in paper space it is fine. I have tried looking at the properties for the text but although I can find a place to rotate the text back to the horizontal it is still mirrored and therefore unreadable.
When I copy paste stuff from one document to another this also occurs.
This has been happening intermittently but now seems to be permanent. When I slect the Multiline tool, click to place the text box, then click to place the other corner the box ignores the size I set and snaps to as wide as the screen and one line high. It does this in several different drawings so it is not native to one. If I enter text and deselect I can adjust the handles and alter the text.
I have attached a screen shot to show. It doesn't matter how close or far I am zoomed in on the drawing.
For what it's worth I do not like the way the ribbon panel controls handle text, it usually takes multiple tries to get it to change the text height. I usually resort to using the Properties flyout but that adds mutltple steps to the process.

I am using a multiple line attribute. I insert the block, fill in the text, and adjust the width of the multi-lines text so the lines are longer and there are fewer of them. I save and close the file, then re-open some time later and the width of the multli-ine attribute has reverted back to a different width (shoter) - I am assuming it is the default width that I set to the attribute. Is there a setting to stop this from happening? Is there something I should do when I create the attirbute?

I have a family photo including many text layers. I'm trying to edit the text in a selected large multi-line text layer. I'm following the steps from the appropriate PSE article, but I always end up creating a new layer and the red/green no-go/go option. I thought I should just be able to double-click the text layer and start editing.
After installing the 2013LT application the Multiline Text Function worked fine, however, now it will not function at all. "Cannot find Shell Program"--is what displays at the Command Line when attempting to create a text box in a file.

View 4 Replies View Relatedi'd like to turn single texts into a multiline tex and KEEPING THEIR INDIVIDUAL COLOURS & TEXT SIZES.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been using the multiline text quite successfully. When i was playing with inserting tables, i rotated my text in the tables.
Now when i use my multiline test on my plans they also automatically are set up vertically and not horizontally anymore.
Where can i rectify this. On the properties the rotation angle is set at 0 degrees.
Attached is a block that I use a lot. Originally I had two separate single line text attributes for the "title". I modified it to have a single multiline text attribute instead. I want this attributes text box width to stretch along with the line below it, so that long text strings will automatically adjust to single or multiple lines as necessary and not run off the end of the line. As it stands now I have to stretch the line and then adjust the width of the text box to match.
Also it would be nice if the bulk of the text would stay on the bottom line and only the "overflow" would move up to the next line.
Within the enhanced attribute editor dialogue, I am wondering if there is a way to open up the multiline text editor with a keyboard shortcut, vs.. having to mouse click on the open editor box? The reason being, I can quickly fill out attributes that are single line text, but get hemmed up with having to stop and open up the multiline....
