SolidWorks Viewer notes missing

SolidWorks Viewer notes missing

SolidWorks Viewer notes missing

(OP)
Hello All:

Notes on drawing are not appearing when the drawing is viewed through the viewer sometimes. I've read here that it may be the view did not support the font but this is not the case.
Our work around is to move the note to the sheet format.

Is any one else out there in SW land experiencing this problem?

Another work around I have found is to make the note into a block.
select text tools/block/make

After digging (more like playing) I've discover that should a note be assoiated to a view the note will not show but if a note is not assoiated to a view the note appears.

go figure???

RE: SolidWorks Viewer notes missing

This should have been fixed in 2001+ sp4. Once you have sp4.0 or 5.1 open and save the problem drawing is SolidWorks and it should be OK in the viewer.
