Applied to: ZWCAD 2018, ZWCAD 2017


Issue:

MTEXT, text, and dimensions are showing up as boxes in your drawing. The MTEXT and Dimensions Properties settings show the actual contents, but no text is displayed in the graphics area. 



Cause:

QTEXTMODE is turned on in the drawing. Some users do this to speed up panning, zooming, and regeneration of the drawing.


Solution:

To turn off QTEXTMODE so that text does not display as boxes:
  • At the command line, enter QTEXTMODE, then enter 0.
  • Then use the REA command to regenerate the drawing
The text should now display instead of boxes.
