Insert new text

Hi Luca, Hi Steve, I see what happens.

When you get to the first stage of the Text command, where it asks you for "Pick base point", if you right-click there instead of picking a point it will cancel the command and mistakenly set the default font name to be blank. (this is kind of easy to do if you are using right-click to repeat the command a bunch of times).

Then if you run the command again after having done that, you'll see that the Font: dropdown (where you pick the font name like Arial, Times New Roman, etc...) is actually blank instead of having a font name filled in there.

If you try to create text with the font name blank like that it will fail.


So a quick fix for the moment is if you see the command fail, fill in the Font: dropdown name so it has a proper font name in it and then it should work again.


I think I should be able to fix this pretty easily with just an update to the Text command script file, I will take a look at that just shortly.
