The text fonts overlap each other after i copy paste my title block from another file. See attached.

This could be because of the same Text style names in both drawings with different property values.

The easiest solution could be to rename the text style using RENAME command before copying. This should avoid the conflict.

Tried your solution but it did not work for me.

What are the text style names in Source drawing and Target Drawing?

The text style name in source drawing is Arial_22 and when i copy paste into target drawing, it changes to Arial_13. When i change it to Arial_22 in the target drawing it doesn't fix it too

Try purging the destination drawing before pasting. Just to make sure, could you rename the text style used in source drawing to something random like "test123" and then paste it into the destination drawing.

if all fails please WBLOCK the text from source and destination files into 2 different files and post it here.

Hi @weimingpoh

If I am not wrong, then you are using AutoCAD 2018. This is a known issue in AutoCAD 2018. The text crumbles as you have shown in the screenshot when the "Arial" font is used. This will not affect the PDF output and it would look fine in the PDF. You can correct this issue by updating to the latest update available or change the font of these text from "Arial" to "Arial baltic" 🙂
