Odd Graphical Text Issue (2015)

[jtylerbc]

I am seeing an unusual issue with Inventor 2015 that I don't remember running across before.

When I zoom in close on text on a drawing (initially noticed the problem while making revisions to the title block, so I was zoomed in very close at times), the text transitions to something different than the original.  Zooming back out restores it to displaying the correct characters.

It does not necessarily change every character, but has the ability to garble the text in every situation I could think of to check (title block, border, sketched symbols, revision table, simple text, leader text).

This is not a drawing-specific problem.  If I send the file home, I do not see this error on my personal copy of 2015, but it occurs on any drawing I view on my work computer (even the Autodesk standard.idw template file).  A coworker who also has 2015 on his personal computer has seen the issue there as well.  I currently have the only installed copy of 2015 at our company (others will be upgraded when I am finished setting up templates, style library, etc.).

Has anyone else been seeing this issue?  Any suggestions on a fix?

Sorry I don't have a solution but yes,my co-worker has the same issue. We first noticed it in our title block. Our company name was showing up jumbled when we zoomed in on it. Then when we zoomed out it was fine. I do not have this problem on my machine though. Crazy.

I'm not seeing this on my machine either.
Do the hardware settings have any influence on this?
(appl. options > hardware tab)

Maybe list your system specs, graphic cards, etc...
It sounds like something hardware/driver related...

Seeing it here.  3 images taken from the same titleblock at 3 different zooms:

and halfway betweeen we get....

Win 7 x64, Dell Precision T7600, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2643@3.30GHz, 32 GB RAM; GeForce GTX580; 3DConnexion Wireless Space Mouse, Penguin Vertical Mouse

Just to add my specs:
Win7 x64, Intel i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, GeForce GTX670 (driver 337.88), 3DConnexion Space Pilot, Wacom Bamboo.

My settings on the hardware tab is on "Quality".

i would say install update 1

but i am not seeing anything in the read me about this issue specifically

read me attached

Mine was set on Performance.  Switched to Quality, and the "glitch" was still replicated.  I won't call it an error or bug because it, frankly, won't affect me.  But it could be a big problem to some.  Very odd.

I had the same problem last week; it was fixed by updating to the latest version of nvidia graphics driver. Have you tried updating drivers ?

Thanks,
