Hi,

I can’t create annotation dots in Rhino 5 SR12 64bit (windows) while on 32bit version all is ok.  
Is a version bug or a problem of my installation ?

Thanks in advance.

What does the command line report when you type \_Dot? Unknown command? --Mitch

Hi,

nothing is reported like a succesfull operation.  
I type \_dot and dialog box appears; I enter text and then I click on Ok button but annotation dot isn’t displayed.  
Only in 64 bit version, 32 is ok.

It doesn’t ask you for an insertion point, it just quits after OK? --Mitch

Your display mode in the the 64-bit version doesn’t accidentally have the display of Text disabled?

You are right. Display text checkbox was disabled, I’ve enabled it and now all is ok.  
Thanks to all for the help. Alessandro
