Text showing up rotated when layouts are printed

[Timothyl]

Greetings,

 

I'm having an issue on my full scale detail sections for a set of entry doors. I used layoutwizard to create my layout and I'm adding text (dtext) and leaders and it all looks good on my screen. When I print it out the text is rotated 90 degrees. I imagine it's any easy fix but I sure can't find it. Any help would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks, Tim

 

I thought I should add- when I look at 'print preview' the text is rotated. When I go back to the layout the text looks correct. I tried unchecking the "match text orientation to layout" and checking it again and it didn't help. Seems like this might be a glitch of some sort?

 

update: If the text is in model space it prints properly. Only the text in paper space shows up rotated.

A screenshot or portion of the drawing might help and a screenshot of your plot settings, also.

Here are some screenshots. Thanks!

Could the text style be annotative?

Could you also make some shots of your dimensions settings?

I suggest u use Alt+PrintScreen :wink:

I tried toggling "annotative" off and back on but it made no difference.

Thanks for the printscreen tip sitting bull.

My workaround for now is putting the text in model space. I saw another thread where someone mentioned that it could be a problem with the printer driver. I did just install a new printer recently though the problem didn't show up immediately.

In the Text Style window, make sure the "Match text orientation to layout" option is unchecked for all the listed text styles.

[Timothyl]

I did that and it made no difference.

If you could post the file, or enough to troubleshoot the print. Is it just this drawing?

[SLW210]

Try printing to PDF or another printer.

You're welcome.

Thanks for the input. I tried printing to PDF and printing to another printer and the issue persists. I tried to find another file that had the issue and I haven't found one. I'll create a new drawing with similiar layouts and see what happens. I was going to post the file but the file size was too big (384K).

Just copy some of the text to a new Drawing, or try zipping it up. I am now curious about this problem.

I got the file size down and it's attached. The layout "Full scale glass system" is the one that prints with the text rotated 90 degrees.

 

Thanks for persisting with me on this! Tim

It will be Monday before I can look at it, I do not have CAD on my laptop.

Use Qselect and select all text (pspace) then change the text orientation in the property palette. Worked for me.

[Timothyl]

Thanks Murph, that works!
