NeilGTi85 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hello all, Ive got a problem with a drawing from a client and the text is in multi-line format and is currently at the correct angle, however, when I go to edit the text is rotate's it's self round 270 deg.... Any idea's? Cheers All, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dipali Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 looks like the current ucs in which drawing is done is not the world ucs. you can check it out by making ucsfollow-1 & than ucs>enter>entr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilGTi85 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 I have tried that and it does not work. There is something forcing the text to rotate, any more idea's? Cheers Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 What are the parameters for your default text style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilGTi85 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 The paramerters are all ok untill i go to edit the text, then it rotates. I have found though by changing the text style it does not rotate?? Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Interesting. Any reason the client would have to set their style to be rotated in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilGTi85 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Not that I can see....Once you first open the drawing all text is ok....but as soon as you edit the text (double click on it) it rotates 270' Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilGTi85 Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Interesting. Any reason the client would have to set their style to be rotated in the first place? Do you know how to change the paramter of the text.....there must be some way to stop this as I have 50+ drawings to do!!!

ReMark Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I'd check the Text Style dialog box. Look under Effects > Oblique Angle. Is it set to something other than "0" for the particular text style your client provided? If so, change it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustysilo Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Sounds like your dview is twisted. I think there is a variable that controls whether it rotates to 0 when you edit, but I don't know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorales02 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Not that I can see....Once you first open the drawing all text is ok....but as soon as you edit the text (double click on it) it rotates 270' Neil Have you actually edited it or just double clicked on it and than hit escape cause it rotates?

NeilGTi85 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Have you actually edited it or just double clicked on it and than hit escape cause it rotates? The text is mtext, when you open the drawing all text is correctly rotated, as soon as you double click on it it rotate's 270', you then retype the text and return and it is rotated 270'!! I have found that when I change the text from standard to aerial for instance it will re-rotate back to normall! I can not find anything to do with Dview....will keep searching The Oblique angle is correct at 0 Cheers, will get there in the end Neil edit - I am using AutoCAD LT 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Have you called the client about this and asked them what they did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilGTi85 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Have you called the client about this and asked them what they did? Its not the sort of client I want to tell that 'I cant...' Maybe once Ive finished the job doing it the manual way I will ask but untill then....lol Cheers Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 "Its not the sort of client I want to tell that 'I cant...'" Then turn it around. Tell them how much you like what they did and ask if they would share the secret of how they accomplished it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried to contact them i min ago and its not possible to take to the drawing contracter who made the drawing for some unkown reason.....dont ask....must be a matter of 'national security'??!! Right another clue When I edit the text and it rotates 270', when I go to the properties menu for the text, the rotation is at 270' so when I change this back to 0 the text rotate's. BUT when I the edit the text it roates as im editing it then when i hit enter it goes back to 0....... The the standard font style is automaticly roating 270'.....there must be an option for the text somewhere... Cheers Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Jeez, I would have thought by now we had put this topic to bed. Would it be a violation of your contract to email the drawing to a third party? It doesn't have to be the entire drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is something I have never come accross in 5 years of using all sorts of cad program's...there must be some sort of way to see the paramerters of the text??

NeilGTi85 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 It has now started doing the same thing when i open a new drawing....the text has been changed to standard instead of aerial......it has change the defualt text somehow on the program!!

ReMark Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Now it affects new drawings as well? That's very odd indeed. Would you still be violating your contract if you erased all the linework and saved an "empty" drawing? As long as you do not change any of the parameters regarding text someone else could still tinker with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
