Phaedron Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I know that there is a setting check box that makes text in linetypes come in "upright". I had this same problem and have recently upgraded to 2012. Which solved the problem to some degree. If your orientation is per drafting standard the your text definition should contain the following: ...,["(Text)",(text style),y=(value),s=(value),u=0],... the "u=0" orients your text "upright" at an angle of 0 deg. to your modelspace. Prior to 2010, I don't believe that this script-prompt is in the cad software language and therefore doesn't work; however, lines generated with text in 2010 & later are set to have this script-prompt writen into the ltype description upon creation. Hope this helps. One point of note; and fixing this is how I came upon this thread... If your "North" orientation follows a stationing construction, then when you are in a viewport that has north facing downword or right, your text will come up upside down as (as previously stated) the text is oriented to be upright in modelspace. If anyone knows how to orient text based on viewport, that would be spectacular and completely solve my problem. Thanks & I hope the previous part helps you.
