Draft Text Annotations not showing properly in TechDraw

Post by Carlos Alberto »

I have this problem when compositing my sheet for printing on the TechDraw page:

Text Annotations created with the Draft Workbench, show well in the TechDraw page when the annotation is on the XY plane (Top View).

But when the annotation is made in a different plane, i.e. the XZ plane (Front) the Annotation is seen in regular FreeCAD view, but not shown on the TechDraw page through an ArchView.

Also, multiline Text Annotations are shown in a single line on TechDraw overlaping one line of text over the other:

I already did a Duckduckgo and Google search but found nothing about this issue, so I hope to find some pointers about how I can set the text to show properly when not in the XY plane / Top View and Multiline text. Thank you

I've never used TD in such a way. Could you add a small example file?
