Referenced title block text not showing up in paper space

[aolivieriPPG7E]

I am having an issue with a title block given to me by another company. When i open any of their drawings i get the disclaimer that the drawings were created using a Student version of AutoCad and that the drawings should not be used for professional use...however the client needs us to match their title block. So i went and referenced it (initially it was all in their paper space, i moved to model space).  But now i get the border outline and some of the border box outlines only the text will not display in paper space.  I can see and edit it in model space, but nothing shows up in paper space.  I tried manipulating the text layer.  I noted that they use a different font style....which i do not think we have.  Could it be the text font style? Has anyone come across this issue before?

Maybe it's an annotative text problem and the text in model space is annotative and the annotative scale in paper space is different than model and the annotative scale hasn't been added to the model text. You could try making the text non annotative or changing ANNOALLVISIBLE to 1 or add the paper annotation scale to each text object in model so they show.

Or you could post the drawing and someone could look at it.

The text might be annotative and your viewport annotation scale is not set correctly.  And/or the text might need the correct anno scale assigned to them?  List the text to see if it's annotative.  Or VP layers are frozen or set to noplot.

Posting the drawing would help.

Thanks i will give that a try. I do think it may be the annotation scale....i will try that and let you know!

Here is the dwg file.  The TB originally is in paper space.

Here is the dwg file....originally the title block is in paper space.  I created a copy of this drawing and moved the title block into model space.

@aolivieriPPG7E FWIW never EVER use any content from an EDU tagged file: this will "infect" all of your files and it will appear there too, as well as a use banner in every PLOT you ever create, then your other clients will get suspicious of your illegal use of EDU software and... well, you don't want to go there.

Read all about it here https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Educat...

If you've already copied content to your files, you'd better recover older copies from your backups and archives and start over.

@pendean yeah i figured it might be better they try to send us an official title block....i need to talk with the engineer so that he communicates that to the client and try to get a better file.  In the mean time this is what i have been given permission to use by that company.

Just be careful: once that EDU tag is in your files you will be stuck with it forever. And ever.

@pendean Thank you! Ill talk with the engineer to get another file.
