Hello, My Title Block text (font) style changes when I insert into a drawing or attempt to create a template. What am I doing wrong. I have attached my title block model dwg for you to review. Is it possible to attach more than 1 file per ticket? I'd like to send a PDF of the drawing after the title block is inserted so you can see the changes that take place. THX, Scott

Ah, it looks like the Standard text style which you are using in the WM ANSI B Title Block Model.dwg file is mapped to a true type font (Arial).
Upon insertion into the new drawing Standard is being mapped to an SHX font (maybe arial.shx) I can't tell because of the pdf.
The fix:
In the new drawing - open the Drawing>Text Styles... dialog and find the Standard text style and set the font to Arial or what ever you want.
Click OK and you should be good to go.
