    Wink Mirroring text and dims

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    How can I mirror an Xref-ed file and mirror it and still have the texts and dims in the right order (english from left to right).
    I'm using CAD 2005.

    Any respond would be greatly appreciated.

    have you tried the MIRRTEXT variable. Try changing it from 1 to 0 or from 0 to 1

    afaik (and from what i tired) you can't prevent the text and dims from mirroring just as if it was a block...the mirror text variable has no effect (well, at least on my home version of lt2002)...

    I wasn't sure but thought it worth a try. I have nothing to test on.
