DIMENSION TEXT 2

[rgajewski]

The text after a dimension,ie. 2.559 (2X), the (2X) does not show up. It used to up until last week, not sure what happened? It is manually put in by me with the text command after selecting a dimension. Help please.
Thanks

Every once in a while the voices in my head have a good idea.

There is a Microsoft update, KB918118, that seems to be causing some trouble. You can delete it and disable automatic updates to solve the problem.

I suspect this will cure your woes.

i have the same problem.
i cannot modify a text previously written, i cannot add the diameter sign, i cannot insert a text box.

rltw, are you sure bout the last microsoft update?

i remember that few days ago a new update was installed (company wide).

I am having the same problem with text in sketch mode, but I cannot find the KB918118 update to uninstall (I have the 'show updates' box checked) Is there anything else to try

We use IV10 at work and the text problem affected all four machines. At home, I use IV11, and haven't noticed it yet.

i'll see you tomorrow lawtonian
we have a pretty good i.t. guy and i'll let you know about what you can do

i'm thinking that the best will be to uninstal the last update from microsoft.
i'm sure that microsoft knows by now 'bout this issue.

i'll get back 2 u guys tomorrow

my guy is looking right in this very moment to uninstall the latest upgrade. he said it's quite possible that the kb file to be hidden.

keep'n touch

 

[CezarAndrei]

on control panel window:
click on "add / remove programs"

you should have a check box at the top: "show updates"

check that box and then uninstal the latest

good luck

mine is working again

many thanks to you rltw
