Reversed Text in DWG Exports


Recommended Posts

Hey AutoCAD gurus,

We typically export DWG files for consultants to use as backgrounds. Since switching to VW2011, I've noticed that when they print their drawings, our imported text is backwards, only if it was inside a flipped symbol.

Is there a setting (like the one that used to be in VectorWorks) to always "reverse flipped text"?

Thanks in advance!!

VectorGeek that is what happens with text in mirrored Symbols in Vw 2011 and the only way to overcome it is to convert the Symbols into Groups before you do the export.

I've just checked and it is still that way in Vw 2013. What I do to overcome it is:

- Not use text in Symbols that are attached to walls.

- Have the insertion option for Symbols that include text set to Convert to Group.

And yes it has been bug reported.

Any solution to this as yet?

This is actually quite important, we need our own symbols to export text correctly.

To elaborate further, I don't understand where this mirroring originates.

In the original VW file, everything is at zero rotation, no mirroring.

In the exported dwg, text in symbols flip seemingly by random.
