 Topic: Text in 2D on 3D perspective View
Posted: 20.May.2014 at 23:07 |
|
I have a drawing that I want to print in 3d perspective view, but I need the text to show up in 2d. I want to do all of this in model space. Can someone perhaps advise how I should go about changing the text to a 2D (plan) view on my 3d perspective (in model space)?
Thanks

Switch to a top view and place your 2D text. Just make sure it has an elevation of zero.

Click on ‘Draw’, in drop down menu select ‘Text’ option (last
option of the drop down menu). Now you can select ‘Multiline Text’ as well as Single
Line Text. You can easily create 2D annotations.

He asked how to get the text in a top down view in a 3D drawing not how to actually use TEXT or MTEXT.

John and RIPTIPE6, I think RIPTIDE wanted a 3D viewpoint with 2D viewpoint texts; then I think he could set an UCS View and launch a text to be seen in "2D".
RIPTIDE OK ?

Yes, your UCS should be in the correct orientation to avoid unintended results. It stands to reason anyone creating a 3D drawing would/should know this.

Hi John, as per my understanding RIPTIDE6 in his query mentioned 3D perspective view which is not necessarily top down view.

And your instructions were for creating 2D annotation....period. You did not mention anything about 3D or UCS or perspective so I don't see what the connection was.

You can still enter your text while in a 3D isometric view with the sysvar PERSPECTIVE set to "1" (on). Just make sure your UCS is correctly oriented so when you put your text in it is flat and not vertical.
