(OP)
Hello, newbie here. I am using NX 7.5, just upgraded from NX 5. I am having issues with the text in my drafting views. On my templates, the text is unreadable, but when I print it out it is fine. I have been working around it for a bit now, but it's kind of a pain. Could anyone help me with this? I'm attaching a screen shot so you can see what I am talking about. Thank you all in advance.

RE: Text unreadable

Did you also get a new workstation when you upgraded NX? If so, is your graphics card/driver certified by Siemens?

RE: Text unreadable

What drafting font is being used?
Is it the OOTB font file?

Hi guys, I am assuming that it is probably a graphics card issue. Just for troubleshooting purposes though, OOTB would mean "Out Of The Box" font, correct? As far as that goes, yes, it is. The font is the "blockfont". It's weird, because everything else is great, its just the drafting text. Dimensions and all. I am attaching a screen cap of the text properties for your viewing pleasure. :) Thanks again guys for your help.

RE: Text unreadable

I don't want to be rude, but may i guess that you have an ATI graphics adapter? I have seen similar behavior "a few times" in NX on ATI adapters . Check the Siemens certifications list and download the recommended driver from there.
