Text grab point corner things

I have a (possibly) silly question, sometimes when I'm working in a drawing, the text, and other objects, have little marks on the plan where their control points are, yet other drawings dont, how do I turn them on?

cheers,

Daniel,
You should really download Karl's QuickDisplay tool

arhicspectives.com

It allows you to toggle that, hairlines and several other items show/no-show.
I can't imagine working without it.

Erika,

I just downloaded and installed that plugin, and I definately like it, speeds up draughting a little bit thanks for the link, and thanks to Karl for writing it.

He sure does!

Daniel, I think you'll find your modeling as well as drafting will speed up quite a bit.

The QuickDisplay simplifies the number of Display option combinations by allowing you to quickly toggle on/off the various display options.

Have you shared with your boss or are you waiting until its time for a pay raise?
