Hi,

I got a problem basically with text allignment:

In my drawing there is a block repeated, rotated and mirrored several times. I need to add to this block another block to implement the dwg. I open the block editor and i add my block to the existing one and everything works fine. When i go out from the block editor my block that contains a text attribute seems to have some troubles managing the text because sometimes is mirrored.

I dig out the internet and i found the tecnique to use the -1 value to the scale of a block to mirror it, and i think that the problem is related to this because the text messes up where the block as a negative scale value.

Does anyone knows hot ti fix this?

thanks

CiaKKi

TRY TO SET "MIRRTEXT"

(0) --> THE TEXT IS NOT MIRRORED

(1) --> THE TEXT IS MIRRORED

It might get more complicated if the block is a dynamic block. See:

I see, i'll make some tries.

But i found what is the cause of the trouble and i think i step over a bug.

The porblem occurs only if i go to the block editor to edit the visualiztion order. If I do that the text goes crazy.

Open the block in BEDIT, then replace what you need to replace. Save & Close the Block Editor, and come out. Then try and use ATTSYNC, ( Attribute Synchronization).
