Hi you all,

I have a question about a strange behaviour of nanocad. It never happened before. It regards only the text.

In the paper space, I can't plot new text insertions: it is not important if I copy some existing text that the plot "sees", or if I create a new one. Nothing, it is invisible.
Previous and new lines/object are displayed and plotted.

The layer is "plottable". I used purge - audit... nothing. The color is visible. Internal/Adobe/Personal plotters, nothing changes.

What is the problem?

Thank you in advance

Best
V

Hi.
What action you perform, what you expect to see and what happens actually?
Placing new text and don't see it plotted? Change current layer to another. The current layer _NO_PLOT is unplottable.

Hello,
in this dwg, the text box is an OLE object.
This technique of Object Link Embeded has always been a source of problem and very dependent on software related to the object in question. For 30 years I have never seen that it works without problems.

In my opinion it is a mistake to trust these finicky tools. A simple copy and paste of text is much more reliable.
Best regards
Patrick

first of all thank you both.

The strange behaviour is, yes, that when I click PLOT, the new added text is not plotted.

So... I copy currently plottable text... Nothing.
I try then with MTEXT. Nothing.
I explode it. Nothing.

I click audit, purge. Nothing.
Flatten. Nothing.


I know No_plot behaviour, I created by myself, so I am careful on its use.

Hi,
if the drawing file contains OLE object - delete it and insert as raster image. Version 11 cannot plot such files correctly, this bug is fixed in new verison. Plus 20 will be released in a few days.

Hi!
First, thank you again. I noticed that the text inside the MTEXT was in No_Plot layer (while the whole string was on another layer).
But I remember that I did multiple tests, and indeed I tryed with a new Mtext (with 0 layer) and it happened again

Welcome :)
But text inside MTEXT can't be on another layer. MTEXT is just a single object, not like block or smth.

hi you all!


believe me or not, it happened again. This time I noticed one thing... what makes the plot "forget" some texts... is the presence of an OLE object. An MS Excel table in this case. When I move that outside the plot area, it plots everything.
