Annotations falling off drawings

Annotations falling off drawings

Annotations falling off drawings

(OP)
Merry xmas everybody.

I am having some problems with SW2005 allready. We updated about a week ago with Sp0.1.
My problem is that on some drawings we open all the annotations are hiden and don't appear until they are clicked on. The same goes with all the annotations on the sheet format. Very strange.

Is this just a sevice pack issue with SW2005. Or can it be something else.

Thanks
Jim

RE: Annotations falling off drawings

Annotation display has a lot to do with the graphics card and driver.  Can you list your specs?

RE: Annotations falling off drawings

In Tools>Options>System Options, you should uncheck Use Software OpenGL.  Having it checked tells SW to do the rendering and to not use your graphics card.

Your grpahics card and driver looks fine.

What font are your annotations made with?

They are a varity of fonts. Even the likes of centre line annotations and baloons are doing it.
I will change the open GL setting and see what happens there.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
