Suggestions to fix mirrored pipe network line type

[USGRAM]

I have a storm pipe network (Image attached) in which the pipe linetype appears mirrored and upside down. For polylines, when the linetype was upside down, the easiest way was to rotate the line 180-degrees.

But with a pipe network, I am not sure how to do it. Also mirrored linetype - I have no clue how to fix this.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

I have two pipe styles - Left and Right. Each one uses a linetype for
Left and Right.

I would also add that it is easier to change the upside down linetype in a
polyline by reversing the direction of the pline.

I am not sure I follow you Matt; How does changing the linetype for the the left/right sides change the orientation/mirroring of the linetype?

[USGRAM]

Bill, I tried reversing the direction of flow of the pipeline; but the linetype does not change its orientation. Also, because the line is a pipe object, I cannot reverse its direction as I used to do with a polyline.

I am completely baffled with why the linetype is mirrorred!!

More Problems:

When a new pipeline is created, all line types appear correctly. The data referenced pipelines also appear correctly. When I close the program and reopen it, all linetypes appear mirrored.

I have tried the following without success:
1. Regenall
2. Creating a new style with a redefined *.lin file
3. Reversing the flow direction

No Solution Yet!!

I had the same issue I believe (I didn't open your attached file). To Fix my issue I changed my line time from the Upright to Relative

Before I had U=0.0

*SANITARY_LINE,SANITARY line ----SAN----SAN----SAN----SAN----SAN----SAN--
A,.5,-.2,["SAN",STANDARD,S=.1,U=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.25

Once I changed to

*SANITARY_LINE,SANITARY line ----SAN----SAN----SAN----SAN----SAN----SAN--
A,.5,-.2,["SAN",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.25

I did a regenall and my layout showed the correct line.

Sorry for the resurrection, but I'm having the same issue.

I've recently converted all our old linetypes from the Relative to the Upright rotation setting.  This keeps linetypes in lines, polylines etc. displaying correctly no matter the orientation of the drawing or direction of the line.

To fix my issue with the Pipe Styles i copied our line types to a new file (called upside down) and changed to U=180. This fixed the problem in the Styles but now requires two sets of linetypes based on orientation.

The fix of changing from U= or R= also causes the same issues, we'd have to maintain two sets of linetypes, as we still need the U= for regular AutoCAD objects.

Has anyone found a fix that doesn't involve maintaining two linetype definitions?
