Display order mtext

rrl642 — Thu, 13 Sep 2018 21:44:55 GMT

I have some mtext with leaders in paperspace. The leader goes across a viewport with a solid hatch pattern and disappears. Does not print either. Try changing the display orders, put the paperspace text to the top, viewport to the bottom, will not change it. Tried bringing text above and putting viewport below, no good.

If I do a change space, and move the text into model space from paperspace, it's fine, text and leader fucntion.

Hi @rrl642, In the plot dialog box do you have the plot paper space last option checked?

Are you saying you can't see that option in the dialog box? There should be an arrow pointing to the right at the bottom of the dialog that will expand it and show more options.

If your leader and text are in paper space then you would want to check that box so it plotted last. Otherwise if it plots first and then the model space space plots it ends up behind the model space objects.
