Remote Text not Displaying Correctly

Remote Text not Displaying Correctly

Remote Text not Displaying Correctly

(OP)
I am having a problem with my remote text displaying correctly. The remote text is displayed as a rectangle with a cross though yet......to through a spanner in the works if I open the same drawing using a different profile it works just fine. So I tried to create a new profile using the one that worked as a base...and still no luck. (there is nothing tricky to our profiles the only difference between them is the project numbers on the directories - there are all the same).
Please help, it is really frustrating not having the time and date etc printing out right and it looks unprofessional.

RE: Remote Text not Displaying Correctly

For rtext to work correctly requires that Express Tools be functional - does one profile not have it loaded?

"to through a spanner in the works" - not a phrase I'm familiar with but I think I "get the drift" :)

Exress tools is loaded and working. So that is not the cause. I have now disovered that some drawings seem to work and others not - in the same profile.

CadDraftee,

I think Your ACAD (version?) can't find the rtext.lsp. Sometimes.
Solution: Add the rtext.lsp (and maybe the RText.arx too)into Your startgroup inside the "_appload" dialog box-> under the suitcase...(Sorry, i don't know the real words)
