    Question Converting text to Construction Geometry in Block Editor

    I have been spending a significant amount of time making dynamic blocks. In an effort to create these blocks with the idea in mind that someone may go back to them in the future to make a change, I thought it would be a good idea to try to leave notes for whoever would have to go into the block. I experimented with converting mtext into construction geometry with the hope that the mtext would only appear if someone were in the block, and not when the block was being used. At first I had success with the text only appearing when I was working inside the block. After going in and making a few more adjustments to the block, when I exit the block editor, the text that was converted to construction geometry is now appearing. Any insight into why this might be happening? Has anyone else experimented with doing something like this?

    I also experience a line that has been converted to construction geometry in a block, sometimes still appearing outside of the block editor.

    Has anyone experimented with or used the conversion of geometry to construction geometry feature and had this issue?

    Haven't used CG before. But testing it here in Vanilla 2012 it doesn't seem to give me the same problem. Even if I edit the text which is set to CG and then BClose, the text does not appear in the block reference. Niether does it happen if I add/modify other objects in the block, but leave the text alone. All I can do is *shrug* ... probably some setting or something else you're doing.

    Hey, thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. It's an odd issue, but I think those are the kind you are supposed to encounter using Acad.
