mileycad Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hi guys We have a drawing here that involves many annotative blocks mirrored to create a layout, then on reopening the drawing the annottaive text of the blocks that have been mirrored are in the correct place but the objects have 'pinged' off the layout, Please can someone have a look - if you change the anno scale to any scale you will see the blocks but change to 1:50 (the scale i want it at!) they shoot off to the left of the layout (outside the defpoint rectangle). Thanks in advance M. elec layout blocks mirrored problem.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 What is a "defpoint rectangle"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mileycad Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 What is a "defpoint rectangle"? If you open the drawing there is a magenta rectangle on the defpoints layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 If you open the drawing there is a magenta rectangle on the defpoints layer. Why? Do you have a screen shot from before mirror and after mirror and one for how it should be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mileycad Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 The magenta rectangle is just to show the drawing border extents ,and if you change the scale to 1:100 you will see all the blocks where they should be , change to 1:50 the attributes stay where they are and symbol part of block moves 'outside' the rectangle area. If I had the drawing showing where they should be I would not be on here asking the drawing was complete and them when we reopened it the blocks were not how we want them. It's very strange indeed.

SLW210 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I have no solution as of now. It seems to work on some scales and not on others. Why are you not drawing at 1:1 in Model Space? It is not a good Idea to place objects on Defpoints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rectangle that you seem so interested in is on defpoints as its merely there to show anyone willing to help on here the 'drawing boundary'. It is irrelevant to my problem. Anyone else got any ideas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
