Version 1 vs. 2 CAD files

jfinnall
Just started with Ubuntu package that was version 1.0 then upgraded to
2.0.4.  When I open drawings that were created under version 1 most of
the text items have disappeared.  Not all the text but just some of the
text items.  It also looks like a box may be substituted for the text.
When I review the .dxf file directly it contains the text items but they
do not display on my screen.

Any suggestion on how to correct issue?


Thank you for your assistance,
James

Yes, "Draft" mode was the issue.  I must have turned it on and didn't realize what it did.
Thank you,

It's a good idea to make draft mode more conspicuous:

Add "Draft mode" string to the window title, for example.
