Text disappears after using block editior to edit a title block

I create a matrix to add to a title block, I add text to it in block editor but the text does not show in the title block after I close block editor. I checked my layers, they are all on, not frozen or locked. I have never experienced this. I am using AutoCAD LT 2017.

 

 

Need help urgently.

Did you add text or attributes?
Are they set to show if attributes? They can be set to hidden too.

In the block editor I added text, when I close the block editor and insert
the Tblock my text are not visible. When i open block editor I see the
text. Where do I find the attributes for the text since I never added any.

Thank you in advance.

Nothing posted if you meant to do so: if you have dropbox or google drive or one drive you can share the file here that way.

Hi @phas50

 

Are you able to share a file of your drawing?

I tried doing so. I solved the problem without knowing the reason for the problem. I exploded the title block, created a new block using the same title block, gave it a new name and it worked. What I did not understand was the fact that I was seeing my text in the block editor but as soon as I closed it they disappeared. I do not know if the fact that the Dwgs were created by 2010 cad and I am using 2017 LT. Christopher Columbus meeting Elon Musk I guess.
