livespace josha Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 HELP! I have a data tag pulling info from a TV PIO and a custom record format attached to the TV. I have the tag set to "Auto" horizontal position. When I have my tag positioned to the right, everything is fine. When I have my tag positioned to the left, all the data fields are mirrored (and now doesn't match my legend) Screen grab attached. Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted December 13, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 13, 2019 Hello @livespace josha, This is working as designed. The Data Tag contents flip according to the direction, in order to avoid overlapping geometry. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov 1 Quote Link to comment
0 RGyori Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 @Nikolay Zhelyazkov Hmm, perhaps the design intent needs to be reconsidered? In my view, when the information is arranged as in @livespace josha 's example it should always be displayed in the same left/right orientation. Very helpful if one is looking for a specific reference among many. 2 Quote Link to comment
0 livespace josha Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 @Nikolay Zhelyazkov I agree with @RGyori . My thought was that the data tag orientation would work like a callout...as you move it around the tagged object, the leader attachment point would move, not flip the entire tag. 2 Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted December 16, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 16, 2019 @RGyori, @livespace josha This is the result that you get with Data Tag's Horizontal Position set to Auto. If you change this to be Left or Right, you will be able to adjust the Data Tags the way you want to using the control points. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov 2 Quote Link to comment
