Text Color Change Makes Text Move??

[geocad]

Hello everyone,

 

I did a search on this site and others and have had no luck in finding an answer to the problem I am facing. My goal is to change all of the objects colors in an xref drawing to gray to use as a background to my work. All changes to the xref drawing were made in the drawing itself, none of this was done in the base drawing.

 

The quickest way I could find was to change setbylayermode to color only and use setbylayer to change all of the objects (select all). This seemed to work fine, until I noticed that certain text would move slightly when the color changed. Long story short this text (single line) moves slightly when the color is changed, even if I select one text and change the color in its properties.

 

My question is why would text move or change in some way when you only change the color. It doesn't seem to happen to mtext, only dtext. Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Maybe those text items are not quite on the same plane or may not be as FLAT as the rest.

Hey Dana,

 

Thanks for the reply. I thought it could be something like this; I even found a thread that said to change all the text to the same z location for a similar problem, but I had no luck.

 

It is a weird problem, who would think that changing the color could change anything else.

 

Thanks again.
