I have to flip a plan 180 degrees and now have to adjust all the text. Is there a way to edit the text angle attribute? or is there a macro that will rotate all the text 180 around each entities center?

Not looking foward to having to rotate or move every piece of text individually.

Hello David,

How about doing two mirrors? The first around a vertical line, and the second around a horizontal -- and make sure that you have Fix Text on! :wink:

The double mirror worked great for the single line room labels. Had to move text around for labels with 2 or more lines (not to many).

If any one else use this trick make sure you mirror a reference point along with the text so that you can easily move the text to the correct location.

We use the Precision Fonts ArchTXT font and have always worked around its odd quirk of not justifying correctly. Recently it has become a hassle, and I was wondering wether the author of these fonts may have corrected the issue.

(The technical problem is that some characters are read by DC as having a width of zero)
