Have you ever been in the middle of creating a drawing and all of a sudden, AutoCAD starts displaying exclamation marks next to some of your text? This can be really frustrating, especially if you don’t know how to get rid of them! Fortunately, getting rid of these pesky exclamation marks is actually pretty easy. In this article, we’ll show you ways how to do it.

First, open up the AutoCAD Text Editor. You can do this by clicking on the Edit menu and selecting Text Editor, or you can press CTRL+T on your keyboard. Second, once the Text Editor is open, select the text that has the exclamation marks next to it. Third, now that you have selected the text, you can get rid of the exclamation marks in a variety of ways. Here are ten methods that you can use:

  • Change the text style: Exclamation marks are usually displayed next to text that is in a different text style than the surrounding text. If you change the text style of the text with the exclamation marks, AutoCAD will stop displaying them.
  • Remove the text: If all of the text has exclamation marks next to it, you can remove it by selecting it and pressing the DELETE key on your keyboard.
  • Change the text color: Exclamation marks are usually displayed next to text that is a different color than the surrounding text. If you change the text color of the text with the exclamation marks, AutoCAD will stop displaying them.
  • Add a space: Sometimes exclamation marks are displayed next to text because there is no space between the text and the punctuation mark. If you add a space between the text and the punctuation mark, AutoCAD will stop displaying them.
  • Change the font: Exclamation marks are usually displayed next to text that is in a different font than the surrounding text. If you change the font of the text with the exclamation marks, AutoCAD will stop displaying them.
  • Increase the text height: Exclamation marks are usually displayed next to text that is in a different text height than the surrounding text. If you increase the text height of the text with the exclamation marks, AutoCAD will stop displaying them.
  • Change the text width: Exclamation marks are usually displayed next to text that is in a different text width than the surrounding text. If you change the text width of the text with the exclamation marks, AutoCAD will stop displaying them.
  • Change the paragraph spacing: Exclamation marks are usually displayed next to text that has a different paragraph spacing than the surrounding text. If you change the paragraph spacing of the text with the exclamation marks, AutoCAD will stop displaying them.

Once you’ve tried one or more of these methods, the exclamation marks should be gone and you can continue creating your drawing without any distractions! If you’re having trouble getting rid of the exclamation marks and need some help, don’t hesitate to contact an AutoCAD IT specialist.
