Having taught myself CADD drafting; I can't tell if I am a bad teacher or poor student....o.O

A couple of things I'm still trying figure out, after 15 years:

1. Why does my ltscale change without notice?

and

B. Why does my text masking change; without notice?

I found a way to work around it; CHECK EVERY SIGLE ONE BEFORE YOU PLOT!

But it is still annoying.

I hope everyone is having a great day, I know I am...:woot:

Around here it usually means you left your drawing open...
In more practical terms, try using a different template to see if its corrupted. Also try ending commands with a 'return' or right click. Abrupt command termination (escape key) causes very strange stuff sometimes...
Good luck

I feel for you, I have been trying to figure out a way to permanently retain the “snaps” settings in LDD 2006 since 2006. o.O

IKR?

And what's up with changing angle units, but only when you do certain functions....:-S

I've noticed, too, that my ltscale will change if I rotate the drawing or do major editing. Same with text mask, if you edit the object the mask is hiding, it brings that object to the front and "unmasks" it. You use draworder to send the object to the back. Still, sometimes it all just seems to change randomly.
