Text not displaying in Viewport on Sheet

[rwedemeyer]

I am using ACA 2012 and when I insert a view into a sheet, the text and dimensions in the view do not display. I have checked the view and the text and dimensions are on layers that should display in the sheet. The layers are on and thawed in the viewport on the sheet, but do not show up. I have turned on all layers and only the model (building information) shows, no text or dimensions. Any help wold be appreciated.

If the text annotation scale in model space does not match the vport scale it will not display. Try matching anno scales or there is a toggle at  the bottom of acad to allow all scales to display (annotation visibility).

Today was the first day of experincing this issue. I am glad i finally got online and found the answer.

I am using AutoCAD Mechanical 2020.  It would seem this issue would have had a simple resolution by now.  When I place dimensions on a part while on the Layout tab, they do not appear.  But if I go to the Model tab they are where I placed them.  This is an obvious expectation.  I think there should be no reason for any other result, other than software deficiency.  Is there a software fix for this that I've missed?

Do you just have that layer turned off exclusively in the viewport you are working in?
Or is there an annotative text/dimstyle scale that needs to be resolved?

Correct! this happened to me and the solution is very simple, just make sure to "show annotation objects" is set to  always. It is a button below with a symbol that looks like a shuriken with a circle on top right.
