MisterJingles Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hi all I drew a building which due to site constraints now has to be mirrored in its entirety, now my windows, aircons etc are all mirrored incorrectly with the text "facing down". I know how MIRRTEXT works, is there a command which would allow me to do the same thing with a block which contains text? IE The block mirrors but the text remains "facing up"?

dbroada Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 MIRRTEXT works with blocks here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterJingles Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 I've tried it with it set both ways (MIRRTEXT = 0 and MIRRTEXT = 1) but it still mirrors facing down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Text and MText objects within blocks get mirrored when a block is mirrored. If you need the text to remain "right-reading" I believe it has to be an Attribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLW210 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 From AutoCAD help--- MIRRTEXT affects text that is created with the TEXT, ATTDEF, or MTEXT commands; attribute definitions; and variable attributes. Text and constant attributes that are part of an inserted block are reversed when the block is mirrored regardless of the MIRRTEXT setting.

MisterJingles Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 From AutoCAD help--- Pity. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 from a quick test, text within a block is mirrored irrespective of MIRRTEXT setting while attibutes mirror or remain right reading depending on the setting. I don't use constant attributes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
