zack310 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Hi All, was wondering if anybody has had any issues similar to what I'm having. I've got symbols which have text boxes in Layer Plane as part of the symbol, which look fine in my design layer in any rendering style. However, when rendered in a viewport on a sheet layer the text box if off center and half of it is missing. This happened no matter what scale the viewport was in. Let me know if anybody has any ideas, thanks. Quote Link to comment

zack310 Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 Here's a screenshot of what i mean, you can see the text box has been shifted off-center but in the symbol in the design layer it is perfectly centred. Quote Link to comment

I have seen a lot of issues related to simple text objects not functioning when placed in a 3D environment. OpenGL seems to handle this better but I have seen it fail there as well.

That makes a lot of sense, I'm sure that will work I'll give it a try! Quote Link to comment
