Topic: MText: entget GC50 (Rotation) in WCS and UCS

[Peter2]

I thought that "entget" returns the DXF-values, based always on WCS. But now I compared the entget-data of a simple MText in WCS and in a simple UCS (moved and rotated), and it shows me that all values are the same - but GC50 (rotation) depends on the current UCS.

Is this a bug or a feature?

See the sorted DXF-values here, both in WCS and "UCS":

Edit:
Bricscad shows for WCS and USC the same values, also for GC50.

IMO this a a BUG (but I use BC). I wonder what the angle will be if the mtext is in the XZ plane of the current UCS. Maybe you can use gc 11 in your code instead. Does the problem also occur for vla-get-rotation?

I checked it with "SnoopCivil3DDB" and - yes, same values here as in GC50.
