i'm doing a complicated stair section which i have made a block so i can copy it out and make changes easily. i have added some dimensions and notes to the block. what i'm wondering is this: is there a way to make a block with leaders and dimensions so that if the block is mirrored the text rejustifys itself?
-
ummm disregard my last question i realized i'll only be showing the detail once so who cares if it mirrors on the opposite side duh. my next question though is since i have incorported the dimensions and leaders into the block when i redefine it the model takes eternity to regenerate. is there anything i can do to help this?

Dan,
Was just looking at some tof the variables and don't know if this will help you but....:
Type: Integer
Saved in: Drawing
Initial value: 1
Controls how theMIRROR command reflects text.
0 Retains text direction
1 Mirrors the text
Ron :D

The variable is MIRRTEXT :oops:
-
yeah i have mine set to 0 but in blocks the text mirrors :cry:
-
i have split the block into a bottom and top section which seems to have helped :wink:
-
Is the block text actually an attribute? If its not it will just mirror with the rest of the block.
