I am having an issue with existing linetypes not showing up in my drawing. The linetypes were working yesterday, but today the text in the linetype is not displaying. we had server issues today, but are resolved now, and the linetypes are still displaying incorrectly. thanks.

The first thing to do is restart the computer.

I restarted the computer, didn't fix the problem.

Probably the font in the STANDARD text style has changed.

Do you store font files on the server? Are they still in the same folder as before the server problem?

so, I'm not sure where the linetype came from (not seeing the linetype in our linetype files), is there a way to check the definition of the linetype to see if has to do with the text style?

Do you have photo of before and current? or upload the drawing so we can extract the linetype?

hi, so I'm not able to upload the drawing. in terms of a photo, before the linetype had an "E", now it doesn't. sorry, not able to upload information.

so, I wasn't sure how the linetype was made, but I checked if my Shape files were still setup in my folder path, and somehow the shape file path was gone. I added it back and it seemed to fix it.
