Robert Fakelmann Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Can anyone tell me why my database notes turn black? (See attached image) I know it must be something simple that I've overlooked but can't seem to determine the problem. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Robert Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 You have the Fill set to Solid and the color set to black. Choose the note and set the fill in the Attributes Palette to None. I am assuming that your "Framing Notes" is a separate text block you have manually entered. Otherwise if my assumption is correct it should have a black fill also. Quote Link to comment
Robert Fakelmann Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 Thank you for your reply, However, that was the first thing I tried when the problem arose. Nothing happened. I also went through the classification settings to see if anything was set incorrectly there, and everything seemed ok there as well. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I think you will have to post the file so we can take a look. Quote Link to comment
Robert Fakelmann Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 Oddly enough, I discovered the problem. I didn't think to look, but for some reason the background in my text styles was switched to black. Thanks for the response, all's well. 1 Quote Link to comment
LarryO Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 While I don't use that tool, it maybe taking a cue from the VW preference/Display/"Create text without fill" setting and incorporating embedded text with a background fill. Change the background setting temporarily from None to Solid and confirm/change the colour to be white before changing the background setting back to None or ByClass. Another technique with basic text blocks is to select all the text within the particular text block and then change the background to none. Text blocks support mixed point sizes and some other characteristics that would not be apparent when checking the text block's information. Quote Link to comment
