text doesn't show up in paperspace

[brow931]

I am having trouble with getting certain pieces of text to show up in my viewport in paperspace. There is text and linework on the same layer. However, only the linework shows up in paperspace, not the text. I have seen this before and don't remember how to fix it. It is a setting somewhere but I don't remember where.

any chance it's a metric drawing?

No, not metric. It happened to me a couple of years ago and it was a setting on the text but I don't remember which setting because I have other text that works fine.

Is the text annotated?

Yes it is. That was the problem. I didn't have the correct scale added for the annotation.

Thanks this helped me too. I had mtext not showing up in viewport and I had to change the property to Annotative=no.

You don't need to set annotative to no. In the bottom right corner of your screen you'll see a scale symbol with a lightbulb. Turn that on and you'll see the text. Select all the annotative text you want to see in a particular viewport, right click and select "Add Current Scale". Then you can turn the Annotative Visibility (scale button with light bulb) back off if you want. If you have text you don't want to see in a viewport, select it, and select "Delete Current Scale" and it will no longer be visible in any viewport with that scale (as long as the Anno. Vis. is turned off). This lets you make each viewport look like you want without putting text on different layers and creating it in different sizes. You can also move the text in a viewport and it won't affect any viewports with different scales. It's very powerful, worth learning how to use it.

 annoallvisible=1  worked for me.
