At this point I cannot edit the text (break-apart/manipulate text), it has a bounding type box around it and I cannot remove the bounding box
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif)
my work around has been to go to inkscape, insert text and save as dxf, open new file in solidedge and copy past to the original solidedge file and then I can edit in solid edge if I still need to (normally all my text edits are manipulated in inkscape at this point).
If someone has a solution I sure would love to hear it.
