Hi guys,
When you shade a model using the SHADEMODE command, some objects like Regions and Bodies (and surfaces in MDT) cannot be seen from both sides, and they are visible just in one side.
To solve this problem you should enter the OPTIONS command and activate the "System" tab in dialog box. Click on "Properties" button and in the new opened dialog box uncheck the option "Discard back faces". Click on "Apply & Close". Click on "OK". Return the model to "2D Wireframe" using the SHADEMODE command and again to shaded view.
All Regions and Bodies will be visible in both sides.

Hi there! I have just loaded your lisp routine for creating a leader with a balloon. Please can you tell me how you make the text size bigger. I tryed changing the text height with the ddim command but to no avail.

Thankyou,
Paul
