Disappearing text

[aluster]

Pieces of text are disappearing after I move them. I try to undo and they are still gone. The only thing that will bring them back is to save the drawing, close Civil 3D all together and re-open. If I only close the drawing and open it again, the text will disappear after I try to move it again. It has only happened a few time today on random pieces of text so I have not found a way to duplicated this problem.

We have Civil 3D 2012 installed on three different computers. One vista 32-bit, one vista 64-bit and one win 7 64-bit. A couple of video cards have certified drivers, one does not. It has happened at least once on all three computers today. None of our text styles are set to be annotative. Anyone?

Thanks,

Andy

I have the same issue.  If you scale it it stays exatly the same, if you try to move it dissappears.

True I see it only in the single line text as well. If I move the text to a multi line string then the problem goes away.

I can also copy the text and replace it in a new text string and I have not seen issues with that, only the single line text coming from 2011 drawings.

Hey all,

we had the same issue with few drawings ...

after all i was curious what causes this problem.

if someone creates a new drawing having the variable "dtexted" set to "1" (editing window) the disappearing happens to ppl which got the variable set to "2" (direct text editing)

The disappearing wont start if the text wasnt edited - but if you edit a text and try to move, rotate of copy it, its going to disappear randomly and the only way to get it visible is to do a regenall. The location is still the original one. Moving the text by the basepoint (blue square) is working fine.

To avoid this issue in a design team, its the best to have the dtexted variable set to 1 OR 2 ... Do not mix it.

I hope this will help you out there

best regards

Daniel
