I hope I can explain this one well....
I created a block, when inserted it should display the view name and the current page. When I edit the block it looks fine. When I insert the block the text size changes, and only a number 1 shows up. If I change the name of the view, the number 1 remains. When I open up the block on it's own it looks like a bomb hit it. Text in random places, and when I zoom the text remains the same size and the lines zoom in and out. It's like I've gone to the twilight zone.
The block was working fine earlier. I wanted the text to be a little larger, so I edited the block and bumped up the size of the text a little...and it all just went to hell.
One other thing. When I do edit the block, I can only see the page number attribute, I have to move my mouse around a while before I can see an outline of the text box that the view name attribute is in....then I have to click around a few times before I can actually edit the text....and then it doesn't work anyway.
What's going on? Shouldn't editing text be easier??
One sort of side question. I created a titleblock, and inserted a jpg of our company logo. It looks great while editing the block, but once I create a drawing the logo is so tiny you can barely see it....just a dot in the corner of the screen. The same things happens to any text that is filled with hatch.
Modeling is great in swx....simple tasks like dimensions, text, blocks and drawing layout is frustrating for me so far. Hope I can put up with it...or learn how to really use it.
