IDW not showing measurements and other text

[G.vd.lisdonk]

Hello Al

Again I am posting here with the same question I had before.

I run into a problem while woriking in IDW files.

After a while of working in the drawing all the text and measurement dissapear.

When this happens it occurs in all drawings that i open in the application.

the only way to resolve it is to close inventor and open it up again.

some few weird things about this problem are:

When i print the dwg without the text it stil shows on the printed version

As I said I have been running in to this for quite a while now, about a year ago i allready posted the same question.

In the mean time i switched versions to Inventor 2023, this still happens in the 2023 version.

I also got a new PC, this also did not resolve the issue.

There are 3 other designers here working with inventor, none of them encounter this problem.

This is very annoying, aspecialy when i am printen the 2D drawings, last friday i had to restart inventor about 10 times over my 6 hour work day.

Hi! Two possibility that I can think of. It could be graphics related. Please make sure all critical Windows updates are installed and the graphics driver is updated. If it still does not work, go to Tools -> App Options -> Hardware -> Conservative. Does it work better?

Another possibility is outdated styles library. You may need to migrate the styles library in the \Design Data\. Use Style Library Manager included in Inventor to migrate the styles.

Many thanks!

I tried al suggestions and still ran into the problem.

Hi! Please share the files here. Another possibility is that the font referenced by these text objects isn't available on your machine. Or, the font itself is corrupted.

Many thanks!

This drawing seems to only have 2 active layers. That may have something to do with it.

That doesn't explain why they come and go, however.

If you use the default templates, does the text work?
