Door Tags

I cannot get this door in this orientation and the door tag to be right reading.

I have re-inserted, flipped, flipped, flipped….

Checked and unchecked the 'adjust flipped text'. What else do I try?

With the door selected, does "Keep ID Horizontal" in the OIP do anything? or does it just flip it back over in a differently-wrong orientation?

I tried that and it just flips in a different wrong orientation.

Pop that door into a test file and post it here, I can take a look. You may need to keep the wall its inserted into as well to maintain the issue.

Check that in the OIP the angle is set to 0 or adjust that when you are selecting the WD-ID tag

Here is a test file. It all works okay in a test file, just like an electrical problem with your car. When I opened the file today in the design layer all is right reading. I thought "wow, perfect" but then I went to a sheet layer and half of the door and window tags are all fouled up.

Attached is a screen shot of the same door in design layer and sheet layer.

I even changed the look and text in the tag.

Alan, what angle are you speaking about? In the OIP I think the only angle setting controls the swing of the door. It is at 90, if I change to 0 it closes the door.

In document settings should I check or uncheck "Adjust Flipped Text"?

Think its different in your program as I use Windoor, Australian & New Zealand.

Ignore what I said.

I also discovered this problem on a few door tags. Interestingly, the ID tag will change if you move the same door to a different wall, or if you remove it from the wall completely. The "Keep ID Horizontal" check box in the OIP does have an affect, but it seems unpredictable.

Solution: check the "Adjust Flipped Text" in the VW Document preferences. JMartinArch: I should have read your post more carefully ... you had the solution.
