formatting text in Label Legend


Recommended Posts

I am having problems in spotlight with the label legend ( I think).

In Spotlight 12.5, whenever I convert a symbol to an instrument and try to add text, such as Color, Channel, Dimmer, or Unit #, instead of getting the number, I get square box characters. The unit information saves though, and when I export as a dwg, I get the boxes as well. Please help!

Thanks,

It sounds like you may have a bad font. We have seen this a lot with some of the hand lettering fonts. Try using a basic system font and see if the problem is fixed.

You should also update to 12.5.2. I was a probelm with one of the versions where text appeared squares, but I cna't remember what version it was.
