Centering Text in Linetype


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I'm trying to center text in a linetype, but at certain angles the text will no longer be centered.

 

Here is the linetype coding: A,1,-.25,["W",STANDARD,S=.2,U=0.0,X=-.1,Y=-.1],-.15

Notice that the text on the vertical line are skewed the most.

 

Thoughts?

When you insert text into a linetype, the x,y offsets apply to the lower left corner of the text.

 

Now that the U factor is available, which only turns the text through 180° and not the lines or x,y offsets, I am not surprised that the text is not perfectly placed in instances all the way round the circle.

 

Perhaps AutoCAD will now make the x,y offset to be from the middle point of the text, which would be logical.
