Causes text and entities to be copied and scattered in the drawing after saving

Hello Team,

 

I am facing an issue where some of the text and entities in the title block get copied and scattered in the drawing after saving, don't know the reason. It is happening for all the drawings after saving. Any insight will be helpful

 

Please find the attached .dwg for your reference.

 

Many Thanks

Could be text justification issue. What text Justification you’ve used when you first inserted your text? Did you change the text justification after that?

If you’re using MText, Try exploding and turning it back into MText using TXT2MTXT command.

I see that only attribute text getting copied and scattered not the single-line text this issue was not happening earlier and I am not sure what it is causing, this issue appeared to be recently earlier there was no issue after saving the file.

I suspect it might be due to the system variable ISAVEPERCENT.

I don't remember exactly when it came to be, maybe R12.

Anyway, it has a range from 0 to 100 (like in percent) and the default has historically been 50.

A value of 100 means saving all the garbage created in the background, which allegedly  will cut down on save time.

A value of 0 means AutoCAD will take the time to clean up all the garbage before saving.

A value of 50 means that you want to be a fence sitter because you don't know the difference.

I know from experience that an ISAVEPERCENT greater than 0 will ultimately save enough garbage that your drawings will begin to stink.

Please, set ISAVEPERCENT to 0.  You need do it only once.  Plus, you will hardly notice the clean-up time.
