You need to disable "Draft" mode. Make sure you uncheck the following item:

Main menu: View->Draft

The Icon has changed since version 2.1

Thank you Lord of Bikes,
 ' draft ' mode was set and  causing my problem,
cleared it and OK now.
cheers,

Thanks a lot I solve the problem by click on the Draft Mode as you suggest

I the latest development version, "Draft" will be shown on in the corners of the drawing view. Hopefully, we will confuse users less.

To dxli: I just read your message about new "Draft" messages, 4 months later.  I'm still reading posts about dimension problems while printing.  Always issues in software development between including it one simple way versus alternative options.  At least a "Draft" message of some sort get users onto a track to a solution. I'm not sure how well it will work but at least it's an effort to address the problem.

Hello,
I do have the problem of text (dimensions or TEXT tool) only showing an empty rectangle while  draft mode is NOT ON.
At the moment I am stuck.

Well I am now unstuck: I just closed the program and re-opened it. It was just a local bug (the bugger!)

Matter closed for me

Dziękuje bardzo.

Dziękuję za pomoc, pozdrawiam.

Please note, when the rendered text is determined to be too small (consider the extreme, if the whole text is only 1 pixel in height), only a bounding box is drawn, i.e. the behavior of Draft mode.
