Text not edit-able...

dvrVSNMW — Fri, 10 Feb 2023 12:27:26 GMT

Hello,

If i select a text line to edit. I can't edit the font or anything... how does this come?

If I select another text higher up this does show the "text-editer". But in this case it doesn't? How does this come?

Regards,

DVR

I think it is depending on how the text is made. Like the difference between single line or multiline or something.

Share your data(= DWG) and you get an answer without guessing - your raster image can't tell anything.

Part of a Block? On a locked Layer? Etc., etc. I agree -- post a [small] drawing file including something you can't edit.

Here a file.

Projectgegevens -> I can change font. This is MTEXT.

Schaal -> I can't change font. This is TEXT

I wonder if you are distracted by the fact that "Projectgegevens", since it is an MTEXT, allows for the font change both inside the editor and in the Ribbon, but "Schaal" being only a TEXT object you can only do so using PROPERTIES command (there are other ways, but trying to keep it simple here)?

As noted by others, no issue with your file here.

Erased

I missed the problem because of the wrong wording, TheCADnoob hits the point
