BIM 360 Glue Add-in For AutoCAD does not display model TEXT

Why doesn't TEXT display when i attach a model to autocad using the BIM 360 Glue Add-in? or when I attach a Coordination Model (.NWD) that lives on my desktop.

 

The TEXT DOES DISPLAY when i use the BIM 360 Glue desktop app and the Add-in for Navisworks... TEXT DOESN'T DISPLAY when i use the Add-in for AutoCAD.

 

2D lines appear in AutoCAD within the 3D Coordination model (.nwd) just not text...

 

This is a problem because we NEED to see text to coordinate our files using the GLUE tools!

Hi @knoelte,

 

Thank you for participating in our community! Are you opening this model from BIM 360 Glue project into AutoCAD and you are not seeing text there? Would you be able to share screen capture of this behavior? 

 

Thank you and have a great day!

Coordination Models do not display text?!

 

Coordination Models (nwc or nwd) DISPLAY TEXT for all listed products (below) EXCEPT WITH AutoCAD:

  • BIM 360 Glue desktop App (TEXT SHOWN)
  • BIM 360 Glue Add-in for Navisworks (TEXT SHOWN)
  • Revit Insert Coordination Model (TEXT SHOWN)
  • BIM 360 Glue Add-in for AutoCAD (TEXT NOT DISPLAYED!)

Text is required for Coordination (communication). Having a 3D model without the ability to see text is 1/2 effective for coordination.

Hi @knoelte,

 

Thank you for sharing this model with me. Would you be able to share DWG file with me so I can try duplicating this behavior on my end. 

 

Thank you and have a great day!

no problem.

 

The fabrication object enabler will need to be installed to see our piping (based on your AutoCAD year). this may not be required for if you are just troubleshooting the TEXT.

Was there a fix for this issue? currently having a similar problem with opening a .NWD file in the BIM 360 Glue ipad app and not having TEXT display
