Drawing label changes in vw2021

[bahi@360designstudio.net]

I just opened a file that was created in the 2020 version file into a 2021 version and the drawing labels are all flipped and turned around.   There's no style assigned.   Is there an easy way to avoid fixing this for each and every drawing that I convert?

I don't think there is a way of avoiding it, but there is, I think, an easy way to do it for each file. First you need to have a drawing label style that you want to use. Then go to Tools>Custom Modification. Set the criteria to select "Type is drawing Label". Make sure you check "Including components of groups and Viewport annotations".

 

You should get a Custom Modification dialogue pop up that looks much like the object info palette. Go to "Style". There should be a drop down from the "Unstyled" it is currently saying to "Replace". Browse to and select your drawing label style.

 

While you are in this dialogue you might want to set the rotation to 0°. Hit ok.

 

All the labels in your file should change to the selected style and be horizontal. Hopefully they come in looking correct. If some were mirrored then you probably have to go back and adjust them individually.
