still new to LISP

[JOEGOAT]

Hi guys,

 

I'm still new to the world of LISP commands but i came across this particular one (http://cadtips.cadalyst.com/standard-blocks/automated-weld-symbols) over on the cadalyst website. It works GREAT, I love it! and it would save a lot of time inserting welding symbols this way compared to the way I'm doing it now, HOWEVER it seems that any time I insert a new weld using this LISP command the text comes in vertical instead of horizontal, (like in the top example of my attached picture. The bottom example is how I would prefer to have it inserted) which means I then have to go back and rotate all the text. can someone help me figure out a way to get it to insert horizontally when it completes the command to save me this extra step? any help would be greatly appreciated!

I believe that LISP uses the settings of the current DIMSTYLE.

It does, but all other leaders and dimensions that use the current DIMSTYLE come in the way they're supposed to. this is the only one that the text gets inserted vertically.

 

after playing with it a little more I've realized that by opening the text style menu and checking the "annotative" box and the "match text orientation to layout" box underneath that fixes my vertical/horizontal problem but it also moves the text to a weird spot. solves one problem but create a new one i guess.

Joey,

 

As stated by SLW210 Text is set as per your dimstyle text settings.

 

That is your text is done with the textstyle given in dimstyle settings.

 

When I test it on my box, it always goes horizontal

using the standard textstyle.
