Hi,

Welcome @Anonymous.autodesk.com!

Can you show a screenshot so we can see how the window (which pops up) looks like and we can also see what you have in your command line.

If you look to the forums page (instead of your mail system) then you should see the links here and also that there are no images attached here.

Sorry that I don't know what you meant by "could  not open it".

open for me to see it, were you able to see the screen shot?

No, here (in the forum site >>>click<<<) there is no attachment in any of your messages.

did u get it?

Hi,

Well, got it now, 😉

And now it's more clear what happend, you get the text-window of AutoCAD opened, which is normal with the LIST command, so that is ok

Now let's take a more detailed look to your screenshot, you do not only have issues with the background color of the AutoCAD textwindow, you also have issues with your status bar background (there you see different dark colors and you can't see all) ... so my guess is someone has played around with the Windows window colors and so the text window is present, but with black text on black background.

To proof my guess: try to mark text with your mouse in that textwindow as you would do it in any text editor, then right-click ==> copy, start editor or MS-Word ==> in the text-frame right-click ==> paste ... the content from the AutoCAD textwindow will now be readable.

Let me know if I'm right.

At least reset your windows display settings to default, there was something not ok.

My text window is opening when I use the LIST command but it is stuck behind my drawing window. It has worked fine up to today so I'm sure there is a simple fix. Can you help me?

Thanks
