Crazy Drafting Notes

[Scott Bond]

Hi all

Has anybody else been getting problems when

they put a lot of notes(create/drafting/notes).

(--I did a search for lettering--)

My problem has been going like this:

 

I make my modle---

Then in layout I use veiw 7 on A paper(no border)

Then I copy(ctrl c) the top of my program from the cimco editor and paste(ctrl v)into in the create/drafting/notes area.

Then I will I.D. the home with a dot and a note.

 

I might save it right about now.

 

Then I usually go back into the file to make a few more helpful notes notes .

 

And all of a sudden I start to get "*%#!

a lot of ^%$# of these sybol type charactors

where my letters used to be.

 

I there some kind of limit to the amount of letters? maybe I'm going over it?

I've had that happen, Scott. No idea what caused it. As best as I remember, I restarted MC and it worked.

I use to see this all the time back in 8 haven't seen it 9 myself. Restarting always helped me. Here's a posting that talks about one possible fix

Scott,

Dennis at your old job in Ontario needs to talk to you. I tried the email address on your profile, but it isn't working.

His extension is 262

I have had this happen to a file this week.

Just did a couple of dim's and notes. Without

even saving the file, just looking at another

view and then going back, it was screwed up.

Tried to print the file, and it was garbled.

When I saved the file it did not seem to make

a difference.

Will try the fix above.

Thanks Bryan. 9.1sp2

[Scott Bond]

untill we get a good patch.

I also get this glitch showing up at any time. I just close out of MC(9.0 sp1) and restart and it is usually OK. Sometimes, I will have to close out and restart several times.

 

I believe this glitch was noted on the forum a long time ago and at that time the comments were that it would be addressed in V9.1. Being a tad bit of a procrastinator, I haven't loaded the new version yet, so I don't know if it was fixed.

Are you guys just cussing on there and mc is fixing it for ya

I haven't had any problems since the fix PDG gave me in the link that Brian posted.
