For some reason I have to put in two spaces between words or all my text
shows up as one long word. It doesn't seem to matter which font I use.
Anyone have any solutions to this problem?

Bob,

I had a similar problem until I changed the fonts associated with the styles
stored in my drawing. I went to the subdirectory where ICAD 2001 stored the
fonts and made sure my styles didnt call for fonts not stored there. The
prototype drawing shipped with the latest version called for a couple of
fonts not included with this version of Intellicad.

Good Luck.

The progression I have see is like this:

Text insertion with CG Dos: Excellent. you could insert a file without
incident and manipulate the text at will once it was inserted.

With Intelicad 98: Fair/Good. You could insert text. The ability to
manipulate once inserted was limited. Insertion was generally (I stress the
generally) predictable. Sometimes the text would disappear on print preview
and I would have to "tickle" the CG settings layer to make it come back and
print.

With Intelicad 2001: Poor. Text insertion is very unmanageable and
unpredictable. Cut and paste commands that worked with Icad 98 no longer
work. Regarding manipulating the text: either procedures that worked with
Icad 98 don't work or I have yet to figure out the new commands.

This has been my experience. I would prefer that I am simply not versed in
the software and that text insertion is greatly enhanced instead of crippled
as it appears to be. Someone, please, set me straight!

I'm afraid I'm having the same trouble. Except I'm only getting this out of
only MTEXT from ICAD98.

I was able to fix most of the text differences by moving my old font files
to my new computer. Only MTEXT is still affected. Most other text appears to
be fine.

Anyone else having this problem or a solution? I'll keep playing with it.
