upside down text

[Dendecko]

I'm having 2 text issues, not sure the reason, some of my connections have upside down text and some of my device labels have halved text.  Any thoughts on reasons?

The halved text at the top is most likely caused by the boundary of the image frame overlapping the text.  Does moving the image up a bit solve the issue?

 

Regarding the upside down text, did you perhaps mirror the lines that have the associated text upside down?

Hi @Dendecko

 

If you like, please PM me the file in question and I'll have a look.

OK we resolved this. Just for information, schematics would normally be viewed in 2D Top/Plan view. But we don't place any restrictions on viewing them in any 3D view. I've often found that for presentations showing a schematic diagram at a funky angle adds a bit of zing! In this case we're looking at Top view. So, why is the text rotated? Basically because the circuit in question was drawn from right to left. So why is it ok in Top/Plan. That's because ConnectCAD follows the Adjust Flipped Text preference and automatically rotates the text in this view. However Vectorworks doesn't adjust flipped text in 3D views because it isn't really possible to guess what the user really wants in this case.

 

So that's the explanation of the flipped text.

 

I wasn't able to see the half masked device name on my system so this may have to do with fonts or something. If it re-appears be sure we will follow it up.

 

Thanks!
