AutoCad 2D :: Rotating Text Within Linetype?

Jun 4, 2013

I'll start by saying that I'm using Civil 3D 2012...I've made a custom line type and am having issues with it. Basically, I'm trying to get the text (Green line with 4's) to flip around from it's current orientation, see attachment. I have already tried the REVERSE and MIRROR commands, with no success.

AutoCad 2D :: Imbedded Text In Linetype Automatically Orienting Top Of Text Toward Center Of Arc

Jun 15, 2011

Using: Land Desktop Companion 2009

Issue: Imbeded text in Linetype is automatically orienting the top of the text toward the center of the arc. I have tried to "reverse polyline" to fix this, but the text will not change. Is there a line property that I am missing that will allow the text to orient itself as readable from arc Point of begining to the end?

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Rotate Text And Object Without Rotating Text

Aug 29, 2011

I know this is located in other locations but I can't seem to make it work with my block.

I would like the cross and the text N to rotate independantly of the arrow while the N stays with the thick line.  That's the easy part.  How can I make the N move along the rotation path and keep the text aligned horizontally?  I read something about linked action and move, but I can't make it work.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Rotating Text From Text Formatting Toolbar?

Nov 1, 2012

I know I can rotate text with the rotate command or from the properties palette, but if I'm editing text and the text formatting toolbar is displayed, why don't I have the ability to modify the rotation right there? How do I get it there? Can I customize this toolbar?

AutoCAD LT :: Create Linetype With Text?

Jun 7, 2012

Currently in process of a quick fix, trying to create a linetype that should place a number in between the lines.

*One, Places 1 in between lines A,5000,-50,["1",CompatecStandard,U=0,Y=-125],-150

That's as far as I've gotten and it pretty much does what I want it too, but right now it is set to 5000mm before it makes a gap with a number. I would like that gap to be dependent on the length of the line... is that possible?

For example, if the line is only 4000mm I want the gap to be after 2000 instead of 5000.

AutoCad 2D :: Upright Text In Linetype

May 10, 2012

I am having an issue with the "upright" script in my ltype descriptions. Apparently it works the way it is supposed to and not the way I want it to.

The upright is set to 0 which orients the text in linetypes to be shown as "upright" to the model space. In most design cases; not an issue, but I am designing construction plans along a roadway and as such, north is not always "upright" to my viewport. Is there a script (ie ...,u=v],... or ...,u=vp],...) that will orient my text based on the line displayed in the viewport?

AutoCad 2D :: Centering Text In Linetype

Jul 23, 2013

I'm trying to center text in a linetype, but at certain angles the text will no longer be centered.

Here is the linetype coding: A,1,-.25,["W",STANDARD,S=.2,U=0.0,X=-.1,Y=-.1],-.15

Notice that the text on the vertical line are skewed the most.

AutoCad 2D :: Curve Text In Custom Linetype?

Jan 8, 2013

I made a custom linetype to represent a pipeline. The line is abbreviated by 5 letters. My problem is when I reach and curve in the pipe (an elbow), the text string does not follow the curve. It remains straight for the remainder of the text. Is there a way (autocad 2013) to have the text follow the path of a curve?

edit: I saw one similar topic from 2008 in this thread: [URL] and the best response there is the one posted by eldon where you break the code down to each letter. Still, the picture in eldon's post makes the text a bit jagged. Have any changes been made to AutoCAD since this post that make this easier?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Linetype With Text?

Mar 12, 2013

I am trying to create a linetype(actually multible linetyes) for Civil drawings. I need the line type to have the following text..........12" W. I have tried to edit and existing linetype but for some reason the string does not seem to like me using the inch (") symbol. Any proper way to generate this linetype and I should be able to edit it to get all the other line sizes I need.

AutoCad 2D :: Custom Linetype With Text Display?

Feb 18, 2011

I made a custom line type called EX (for existing pipes) which looks a little bit like this: - - - EX - - - EX - - - EX - - -

Line works great when I draw from left to right. However, when I draw a line from RIGHT to LEFT, the text displays upside down a little bit like this: - - - X3 - - - X3 - - - X3 - - - ("3" representing the mirror image of "E")

Same applies when drawing from bottom to top, or top to bottom. I totally understand the behavior here, and TBH I think it's OK it behaves that way.

Let's say I'm drawing existing water pipes going in all directions with a polyline. Is there a way to make the text display upward no matter what direction the pline is going?

AutoCad 2D :: Rotating Parameter With Text

Jan 27, 2012

what i have is a section cut that my Mechanical guys use. What i am trying to do is create a dynamic block using the rotate parameter.

Currently i have two rotate parameters. One to rotate the section cut lines around one bit of text. The second parameter is to rotate another bit of text, but this is also selected in the first parameter.

It is almost working... with the exception that when i use the main rotate grip everything rotates around the text i want it to, but the second bit of text rotates 180° the opposite direction.

I have attached a copy of the file.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Text Linetype Flips At Nodes

May 23, 2013

I am using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 and just installed HotFix 3 (so I should be all up to speed).  I have created a water linetype (---W---) and telephone linetype (---T---).  The problem I am having is the 'W' and 'T' seem to flip at some of the nodes based on if the Polyline is going up or down (from left to right).  When it is going up it displays right side up...going down it displays upside down.  They are one single polyline with nodes.  

I have tried REVERSE, PEDIT then Reverse, my linetype definition is set to U=0.0, but nothing has worked.  I have redrawn other polylines and they all have the same issue.

Attached is a PDF of the polylines.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Gas Linetype - Cannot Seem To Scale Text Properly

Jul 19, 2013

I'm drawing a gas line (the one that says gas throughout the length of the line) and i can't seem to scale the text 'gas' properly, it seems that it is all squashing up and i cant make out what it says. I've tried ltscale, psltscale and the actual linetype scale of the line to no avail. I'm sure this is a simple problem, i just cant work it out.

AutoCad 2D :: Rotated Text In Custom Linetype Won't Center

Apr 18, 2013

I've created my first line type (woohoo!) but the rotated V that I used as an "arrow" won't center and I'm having a difficult time understanding why so that I can fix it. I am aware that linetypes like the one I created exist but I wanted the arrows a specific size and distance apart which I couldn't do with the existing linetypes available to me (also I really wanted to try creating a custom one).

In the attached picture:

-the green line is the finished custom linetype

-the red lines are polylines

-the blue text is rotated 90 degrees, set to a text style titled Linetype (simplex font, not annotative, height set to 0 and width set to 1.0), and Justify set to Bottom Center
linetypes-Model.pdf

The finished linetype code is:

*STREAM_LINE_W_ARROW_BIG,Stream_Line_W_Arrow_Big
A,.392629,["V",Linetype,y=-.07619,s=.2,u=90],.207371,-.144393,.011213,-.138787,.011213,-.138787,.011213,-.144393,.392629,["V",Linetype,y=-.07619,s=.2,u=90],.207371

Also, this the first time I've attached a picture, I'm not sure that I did it correctly.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Text In Linetype In Curved Pipe Is Mirrored

May 30, 2013

I'm trying to set up pipe styles that have a linetype with text in them.   For example ------SFM------.  They work fine for straight pipes.  However on a curved pipe the text goes all funky.  Not only is the text backwards it is also mirrored. 

Is there likely something wrong with my linetype definitions or is that normal behavior with civil 3d pipes?

AutoCad 2D :: Complex Linetype Shape Versus Text Spacing

Feb 20, 2013

I have created a custom linetype using a shape & also added text. I have tried countless combinations to have a different spacing for the text, without affecting the frequency of the shape.

I want there to be no space between the shape, just repeating. But I want the text to display only once for every 4 times the shape repeats. Is this at all possible?

Every time I change the text spacing, I get huge gaps in the between the shape and it seems that their spacing cannot be independently controlled.

AutoCad :: Rotating Lots Of Individual Bits Of Text At Once

Gave a set of schematics to a client and they decided they wanted all the wire numbers rotating 90 degrees... In the interest of efficiency, any way I can rotate all the pieces of text at the same time whilst maintaining their individual position rather than selecting a base rotation point (as I have about 400 wire numbers to make my way through ).

AutoCAD Inventor :: Rotating Text In Header Of Parts List

Nov 24, 2011

I have been unable to rotate the header text in a parts list.  I created a new text style that is rotated 90 deg, a new part list style that specifies to use that text style in the header.  Everything else about the text in the header displays correctly (i.e. font, size, colour, etc) but not the rotation when I insert the parts list in a drawing using the correct standard.  When I apply this same standard to a regular text line on the drawing it will rotate the 90 degs but not in the part list.
