Text invisible in layout

[Anonymous]

Since upgrading to 2016, this has been bugging me.  We do a lot of work in 3D and after awhile if I click into a layout to edit dimensions or text the title block is there and the views are there but all of the text is 'missing'.  Actually it's there if I mouse over it and I can click and edit it, the drawings even print fine.  If I close the program and reopen it the drawing is fine for some time again.  2d drawings work fine unless I have other 3d drawings open and those start acting up.  

I'm thinking it's a graphics processor thing but I didn't have this problem in the same drawings in 2015.  

Any ideas would be helpful!

Thanks,

Rob

Hi,

Is your text annotative.? If so then try command : ANNOALLVISIBLE and set variable 0 to 1. Hope that helps.!

No nothing is annotative.  It seems to do this with the AutoCAD default "txt" font, which is basically a very thin font made out of line segments.  When I switch to Arial Black font (for the same object), which is thicker, this problem seems to be fixed.  The txt font seems to vanish until I zoom in on it, at which point it becomes visible at a certain zoom range.  This is annoying.  It seems that font choice and zoom range affects whether or not a given text object will render in paper space.

Still no solution besides changing the font.  Is this a bug?
