Mirroring Lines

[dave]

There is a bug in Autoplant PID when you mirror a line. The annotation will show upside down. Does this happen to you guys, how do you get around it. I only recently discovered this and the subsequent problems it creates. Work arounds ar ea PITA! :x

[Colby]

Did you check the "MIRRTEXT" System Variable?

[dave]

ah, no I have not Colby - where are they located. In the PID-SUP.lsp file?

[Colby]

This is an Autocad System Varaible

in lisp you can do this

(setvar "MIRRTEXT" 0) ;0 is off your text should not mirror
(setvar "MIRRTEXT" 1) ;1 is on your text will mirror and look goofy

My mirrtext was set to 0. Bentley knows about this and it is most definetly a bug. The text mirrors on the Y axis not the X. weird. Thanks for that bit of info though Colby.

[Colby]

they will never get this SH*t right will they?

[dave]

They really need to re-think the whole thing. I downloaded the latest SR yesterday and am anxious to install and see what's fixed.

[Colby]

good luck

They have been rumored to completely re-do that whole package for at least 3 years now.
