Type style in command line and check the option backwards.?

Try to select a different font in the STYLE settings for your texts. You can also edit the text with DDEDIT.]]> Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:24:26 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=865&PID=2283&title=mtext-question#2283 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=865&PID=2255&title=mtext-question#2255 Author: APD1013

I had already checked that and it was set to the default of 2...  I just tried it at 1 and that worked, but text was too small in the editor.  When I switched it back to 2, something happened and now the Editor does not appear when you create the text box with the cursor.  There is a pause, then nothing.  Yikes! Is there something else in that I should be looking at?  I'm going close AutoCAD and  re-boot my computer to see if that helps...

Thank you for your comments thus far!

Can you use this variable:

 Check the UCS plane.

Hello!

I hope you can help me.  I have a recurring problem with my Mtext Editor (AutoCAD 2007) - It always reverts back to a 270 deg. rotation.  For example, every time I go to edit an existing text (shown at 0 deg), it rotates 270.  If I go ahead and make the changes in that format, it stays that way when I am done.  I have to go to Properties to change the rotation back to zero.  Very frustrating!

FYI - The same thing happens with new text - the cursor used to create the text box has the "abc" shown at 270 deg and creates the text sideways.  None of this makes for efficiency...

Thanks in advance for your help!
