OK, this is strange and I tried the search but not sure maybe I'm wording it wrong...

When I edit text, I can double click on it and the font menu pops up where I can bold, underline, change the font size, etc without having to go thru the feature manager. Suddenly now I cannot. Additionally, the option to alter the font defaults in the feature manager is greyed out as well. Clearly I inadvertently did something but do not know what I did or how to undo it. I need my little faux-word text options! It's also not working when I click the "A" icon to insert a note.

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? What'd I do???

thanks in advance!

RE: Font Menu

Is this a note in a part for a sketch or as an annotation in a drawing?

for text notes, titleblock text and rev block text in the drawing.

RE: Font Menu

Trying editing the sheet or editing hte sheet format... its probably on one of these forms.

The text toolbar doesn't come up there, either. That's where I noticed the problem. But it also doesn't pop up anymore when I'm editing text in the drawing and now I'm having an issue where I need to add tolerances and cannot without the xx/xxx option that the text toolbar gave me. Nothing has changed on the sheet format, they are the same templates I built months ago.

RE: Font Menu

I have had this happen at times when I am zoomed in too close to the note and the toolbar does not popup.  Have you tried to dock the toolbar anywhere?  Right click on any toolbar and select the Formatting Toolbar.  It should then be visible.
