      I very rarely use 2D export. Instead I use a screen capture program called faststone. Best 20$ US that I've spent in a long time. They have a 30 day free trial. Check it out.

      I use it because it can do everything from videos to various image specs and editing.

      Essentially it is WYSIWYG. It is Windows only - however - from what I've seen you do have Windows.

      FastStone Image Viewer, Screen Capture, Photo Resizer ...

        I need to export at a higher rez, then resize, to cut down on the jaggies, no?

        I export these jpg plans pages at 6,000 pixels wide, then resize to 2,000.

        If I use another format then jpg, like tif, at a lower rez and till get rid of the jaggies? (won't solve my present problem though)

          Joe, I noticed that the text in question has a leader line which you have hidden, this I believe is the problem, maybe a bug.
          But simply redo your text in a clear area which will negate the leader line and bob's yer uncle.

            as already elaborated above, grouping the text entities workarounds the issue (see attach).

              ...don't even know what Raster means...

              raster data means pixel based outpout as on your monitor or printer or photo or newspaper... whereas vector data is defined as analytic lines, circle/arcs, curves/splines etc.:

                I tried grouping all the text, it's all there now but I still get a black box

                  He means clicking in empty space with the Text tool allow you place text without a leader line. Leader lines appear when you infer a face, edge, point or object

                    update the GeForce driver to the latest version 356.19.

                    Artefacts with Hardware Acceleration enabled or disabled?

                      Joe, All
                      I get the same result as Joe. (on export to png @ 6000pix)

                      However if I place new textbox by double left click (no leader)SU behaves as expected.(and I think others have suggested this)
                      Also, in entity info,Joes text that is giving him trouble has "hidden" showing as to leader.

                      New text placed by double click shows the arrow and leader blank in entity info. (see attached pix & revised SU model)
                      Joe, did you originally place the text with a leader showing and then select hidden in entity info?

                      Charlie

                      Having trouble uploading images...........Joe.....try exporting from SU model attached.

                        I think you folks have resolved this issue .. what a crew! I've never just dbl clicked in open space, I've always anchored it and hidden the leader, and no, didn't select Hidden I don't think,

                        thanks for the help with this Major problem!
