As an Engineering Consultant, I have a request from one of our client's for some design work in Inventor. We are using 11 but I haven't used Inventor since 5 (1). As I've been "practicing", I have found that I can't add any kind of text to a drawing (either editing to add description to a dimension or a stand alone note). I've tried to figure it out but give up! Does anybody have any ideas here??? Thanks - I appreciate all the help I can get... Dadelar

InventorGod,
Whether it is a part, assembly, drawing or presentation is irrelevant in this case. The problem the OP has is due to a Microsoft hotfix, that came out a while back, that caused Inventor to not allow text editing. There is a fix available from Autodesk as well as the problem being taken care of in SP3.
