interesting viewport behaviour

[Anonymous]

Here's a new one for me. I have set up a sheet with three viewports in
paperspace, each viewport showing different views of the same floorplan.
This floorplan is not xrefed into the current drawing. Here is the wierd
stuff...when I place text over one of the viewports, it disappears where it
crosses the vieport. Outside the viewport it appears fine, but looks
clipped where it crosses the viewport. Text over all the other viewports
works fine. Go figure...any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Turn off Viewport Hide & your text will magically reappear 🙂

I have the same problem and want magic to happen too 🙂
How exactly do you turn Viewport Hide Off?

It's actually "SHADEMODE" which is causing the text to disappear. If a
viewport's shademode is set to anything other than "2D wireframe", text in
paper space, which crosses the viewport, will be wiped out. You can tell is
a VP is set to 2D wireframe by looking at its UCS Icon (assuming it is
turned on). If the icon consists of simple blue lines and markers, than it
is 2D wireframe... if the icon is multi-colored 3D graphics, than it is not
2D wireframe. You can set this with the View > Shade menu, or the Shade
toolbar.
