AutoCAD linetype displays as question mark

From The CAD Geek

Issue[edit | edit source]

AutoCAD Linetype symbols do not display correctly and are displayed as a question mark (?) on some machines while using AutoCAD products. Some examples are:

  • Characters like CL(℄).
  • Arrows.
  • Dimensions.

Causes[edit | edit source]

Corrupted AutoCAD user profile.

Solution[edit | edit source]

Reset AutoCAD to defaults (see How to reset AutoCAD to defaults). [1]
