For some crazy reason ... on this last install of PS CS2 the text orientation is vertical by default. So everytime I want to use the text tool I have to start the text then change the orientation. How may I set the default to horizontal - permanently?
View 4 RepliesIs it possible to have a dynamic block with text which, when inserted into a drawing, will show the text orientation matched to the layout? I have a non-dynamic block which is simply a donut and a piece of text. When I insert it into a drawing, the text orientation will change to suit the orientation of the layout. I created another block with the same entities but I also added a couple of lines extending out from the center of the donut. I added stretch and rotation actions in order to rotate and stretch the lines. I also gave the block visibility states so that either one or two lines would appear (the block is a utility pole,by the way, with the lines representing guy wires). When I insert the dynamic block into a drawing, I cannot get the text to match the orientation of the viewport. I've tried changing different combinations of settings but the text won't appear horizontal.
The two blocks I mentioned above are inserted into one file with a number of other blocks. When I check the properties of the non-dynamic block, the "match orientation" is set to YES. I cannot, however, change the "match to orientation" setting to YES on the dynamic block. Is this simply because it is a dynamic block or am I missing something? I don't create a lot of dynamic blocks and therefore I am not a wizard at it so I am assuming I am doing something wrong.
About a week ago my text suddenly defaults to vertical eveytime I start to enter text.. just aggrivating, I have to start typing text, then go up and click on the change text orientation button each time. I can't figure out how to change the orientation back to a default of horzontal.

How to keep the location and orientation of the “text” to the left of the “mirrored” elements?
In the screenshots below, I wanted to mirror the drawing but still I need to have the “text” to the left of the mirrored objects with the same settings and orientation.
Is there a way to do that?
To overcome this particular need, I mirror the drawing in the regular way then playing abit to let the text appears the way I like them to be.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSince it's a snow day here I have some time to work on some office stuff. I've created my new template now I want to update my blocks. Because I have to place blocks that show a direction for operation I have created 4 blocks of the same symbol-up, down, left, right. I do this because these blocks have text with them that needs to be orientated to the layout (otherwise I get a nasty letter back from the fire marshal). Now for the text that is constant I just use a annotative text style and have the text match the layout but the text that is an attribute I'm not sure if that can be annotative and match the layout as well.

When I copyclip a dimension from one drawing with UCS set to world/north, then paste into another drawing with UCS rotated in Z (south for example), the text remains oriented to north. The original drawing doesn't have to be set to world, just something different from the paste orientation.
Is there a way to have the text orient itself to the current UCS at paste?
Apparently text will always rotate about the bottom left grip and not the justified grip.
This is a massive issue that makes this great feature virtually worthless.
If the text is going to rotate in multiple viewports you need it to stay in the same place!
is there a way to set an a4 in landscape orientation rather than seeing it as a portrait? and i don't want to change the settings from a4 vice versa to make it landscape.id like to know if there is a hidden option for the orientation we can set our document to.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI upgraded from elements to CS6, but in print dialogue box I cant see a way to change orientation of the image independent of paper orientation, (not just the paper orientation which i keep portrait), so for landscape printing i have to rotate the image 90 degrees then go to print, in elements i could rotate the image while leaving paper set to portrait.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a crop tool preset I made in landscape orientation to size photos all the same for a data-merged book I do every year. With CS6 I noticed a new and annoying behavior; if I move the crop tool too far to the left, it automatically changes the crop area to portrait. If this is supposed to be a feature, it's a most unwelome one. If my crop preset is landscape, then that's what I want. I'd like to know if there is a way to disable this "feature".

I've been playing around with Exif orientation data, and CS4 always shows the orientation as "Normal" in File -> File Info. However, looking at the same EXIF information with other programs (e.g. Picasa), I see the appropriate rotation information, which is consistent with how I took the photos. Is this a bug in Photoshop CS4? I took the photos with an iPhone 4, by the way.

I have a number of multi-page docs created in PSE. No matter what printer I select, and despite them being in a standard portrait size/orientation, the print options ALWAYS default to landscape. I've checked the actual printer under "printers and devices", and the actual settings there are portrait.
This is worse because I must actually use the print options dialog box to move manually through EACH PAGE of the document to be printed, and set the printer options to "portrait" on every page. If I fail to do even one page, the entire document is printed landscape, cutting of page contents.
The preview shows each page is indeed landscape until I do this procedure, at which time it flips the page to portrait, one at a time.
Doesn't matter what printer is used.
Also, once printed, if I immediate open the print dialog again, same printer and everything, once again it has landscape.
There seems to be no memory whatsoever for orientation (other settings, like resolution, are maintained during the run on PSE, but are always lost when PSE is closed). Again, in particular, orientation for every page, individually, on each print attempt, is always set to landscape, no matter that the document is not in that orientation.
Is there even a way to specify document orientation? Is there something PSE does to attempt to determine orientation that might be wrong? Can I make PSE remember printer settings, or at least use the system defaults for the printer?
I recorded these two Actions:
1) resize a Portrait orientation image to a height of 800 pixels (constraining proportions) and then “Save for Web” to a jpg with a quality of 24%
2) resize a Landscape orientation image to a width of 800 pixels (constraining proportions) and then “Save for Web” to a jpg with a quality of 24%
How can I create one Action that will work for both Landscape and Portrait images (setting the longest dimension to 800 pixels keeping the other dimension in proportion)?

I accidentally changed its position relative to the object being edited.
P.S I found the hierarchy panel to the right. does it have something to do with this? (I thought i remembered it from a tutorial i used a while ago...)
I fixed it with the hierarchy panel. I clicked pivot in the panel, then affect object only, then center to pivot. this makes the the object stick to the gizmo, bringing it back to default setting (at least im 99% sure that was default.) I thought i had been on the right track.
I just upgraded to X6. My previous version of CorelDraw used to prompt me when I tried printing a landscape oriented file without changing my printer setup to landscape. This version just goes ahead and prints without matching the paper orientation. I can't tell you how much paper I've wasted!
Is there a setting in X6 that will cause the program to tell me when the project's orientation doesn't match that of my printer setup?
I have 17 printers installed. all but 2 use match orientation. The Canon W6400PG and the MP 5500 use printer orientation. Is there a way to change those 2 to match all the others that work just fine? The default is the HP LaserJet 1200 Series PCL 5.
