Xref issues

[feargt]

Hi,

 

We are looking for a solution to a problem in our office. We produce layout plans for several of our projects, for example location maps of project area with varying information displayed on the drawings.(aerial photos, boundaries, hatching for boundaries etc.

 

Our text for these drawings is always an xref, mainly as it is used in several different drawings.

 

The problem is when a new drawing is created with a different UCS (for example rotated 90°) and the same text is required.

 

Currently we produce a new xref of the text and rotate text accordingly.

 

This means naturally that whenever we need to edit the text it must be done twice.

 

The question is whether there is another option for us to avoid having to do the same editing work twice? Or is there another approach we should be taking that we have not considered?

 

Thanks

This may cause more problems than what it's worth but you could make the text annotative.

Thanks for the response, it might well be the option.

Why do you say it may cause more problems than it is worth though?? I'm assuming your talking from experience?? that doesn't fill me with confidence.
