Correct Upside down dimensions

[Anonymous]

I have a viewport I rotated 90 degrees. In the model I have a string of vertical dimensions on the right side of the model. In the viewport the dimensions are horizontal and upside down. How can I get the dimension text to show up right side up?

Use the correct UCS when you are placing the dimensions?

This works great:


;;by David Kozina
(defun C:FLIPTEXT (/ ss i ent ele)
(setq ss (ssget '((0 . "DIMENSION")))
i (1- (sslength ss)))
(while (not (minusp i))
(setq ent (ssname ss i)
ele (entget ent))
(entmod
(subst (cons 51 (- (abs (cdr (assoc 51 ele))) PI))
(assoc 51 ele)
ele))
(entupd ent)
(setq i (1- i))))

(defun c:DTF () (c:FLIPTEXT)(princ))

Thanks for all your suggestions!

Because it is arch-desktop group, may meaned about
AEC dimension. Independently of current UCS, AEC dimensions are
always drawn by WCS.. I had this problem too, may I rotate all model ?

I'm not sure what you mean. I used generic dimensions, not AEC dimensions. The LISP program worked great for me.

Ok, I see. In generic dimensions that problem I described not exists.
If You are using arch-desktop, also try AEC dimensions - very useful thing.
