nyrblue2 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I am trying to insert a block into a drawing, but the text in the block keeps showing up with the wrong width factor. I checked the actual .dwg for the block, and the width factor is 1.000. However, when I insert the block, the text is "squeezed". I exploded the block to check the text properties, and it says the width factor is 0.850. Why is the width factor wrong when I insert the block, even though it is correct in the actual block drawing? I purged all references to that block, re-inserted, and it still didn't work... Thanks to anyone that can help. I'm using AutoCad LT 2007... Quote
Hedgehog Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Is the text STYLE already defined in the drawing & if so what width factor is it set to? Quote

I've noticed that in the attibute value strange '\W0.1000;' appears which probably changes with factor of the text into so narrow that it's almost invisible. It's also funny that You can't directly delete this value. The only way how I could fix it was to delete the whole attribute in block editor. Then add the same attribute into the block. Finally - at attributes manager click 'Sync' which makes this attribute appearing in the block. Hope this problem will be resolved soon because I've noticed it already a few times and changing it takes unnecesarry time! Quote

I've temporary changed the attribute text style. When I came back to the same text style, problem seems to disappear. I think it's the problem connected with text style copying or embedding. It's rather code misteake of the AutoCad program. I'm using version 2009. Quote
