CAD file acting funny

I am working on a CAD drawing that is acting funny.

I have some multi-line text in an arial font. When i try to edit the text, the text rotates 90 degrees clockwise, and stays that way after I edit the text.

I have Times New Roman font (client requirement) in model space. When I zoom around in paperspace, the text blanks out, and doing a regen or redraw does not bring it back. I have to jump to model space, and then back to paperspace for it to reappear.

Any advice you can provide will be very helpful. I have to get this one out for review tomorrow.

Thanks in advance,
Jimmy

Text or elements disappearing when zooming in are primarily due to graphics card issues. Read that it has something to do with ability of cards to refresh accordingly. Are you using a generic onboard graphics card or a stand alone graphics card?

The other rotating issue I have not yet encountered.

I am sure it is the generic onboard graphics card in my laptop.

Using the STYLE command, change the font from NTR to SIMPLEX, then after all your drafting is done change it back.

Just make sure your text aligns up where you expected it to.

Another thing you can do is to copy the simplex font and name it arial or whatever font is required by the client. It will be simplex on your end but whatever they want on theirs. Just make sure to save the original fonts as a backup.
