I created a few curved text items/blocks in AutoCAD LT a few years ago (my architectural stamp, for example), which I've been using on all my drawings for the past 2 years. Within the last few weeks, I noticed that the curved text items are no longer displaying, and don't even appear as selectable objects in any of the files (even the original files that were archived and untouched from 2 years ago). Any idea why this might be happening? I downloaded full AutoCAD demo to see if that worked, and interestingly, all the curved text items appear just fine in full AutoCAD. Was the use/visibility of curved text recently disabled in AutoCAD LT by Autodesk? Very frustrating, if so!
Arc Text has never been a feature of LT. Can you post the blocks so we can have a look at them.

Not with ARXTEXT command (not in LT)
>>"which I've been using on all my drawings for the past 2 years."
How did you create them, tell us a sample step by step.
>>"Within the last few weeks, I noticed that the curved text items are no longer displaying, and don't even appear as selectable objects in any of the files (even the original files that were archived and untouched from 2 years ago)."
If we talking ARCTEXT: Check your PROXYGRAPHICS setting, set it to 1 and re-open this file in your older LT.
(BTW: Proxynotice=1 would asking you: Want to show proxys, or just as simple box, or no proxies)
>>"I downloaded full AutoCAD demo to see if that worked, and interestingly, all the curved text items appear just fine in full AutoCAD."
And in LT2024 not?
Note: I have a big Problem with arxtext with my LT2024 installation, it runs in an unhandled error
and crashs, so I need to re-install the program or updates for my graphic hardware, whatever.
>>"Was the use/visibility of curved text recently disabled in AutoCAD LT by Autodesk? Very frustrating, if so!"
The only thing what make sense: Proxynotice
But we don't know how you could create Arctexts in LT, because it wasn't an option.
