CAD tip # 6751:

Question CAD
% platform category

	Cannot select a specific text in my drawing.
	If you are not able to grip-select or window-select a specific text in your drawing, check whether the text is an annotation object displaced (moved) in the current annotation scale. Try to temporarily set the `ANNOALLVISIBLE` variable to 1. The problem can be caused also by a text on a locked layer, graphics card (driver) bug or by a drawing coming from a non-genuine DWG file format.
