Occassional rotated text output to DWF

[Anonymous]

I have a title block that when I plot from Civil 3d to Design Review, I
get a rotated piece of text that is within out titleblock.

It is supposed to be vertical, however, it plots horizonal in the DWF
and to paper.

Plotting directly to the plotters or to PDF it plots correctly. Its
annoying as hell, cause its occurred at least in 2010 and 2009.

I get the same thing, but from
Autocad 2010 to Design Review 2009.  It rotates the occasional xref'd
titleblock text in about every 3rd page.  There's a post in the Autocad
2010 thread about this same topic but sadly no fix 😞

After creating the DWF I have to
re-publish the sheets with the rotated text, one at a time, then insert them
into the overall DWF.

You're right about it being annoying
as hell!

Are there page setups in the DWG that are no longer valid? We haev seen some instances where if there are old page setups saved in the DWG that are no longer in use, the text will rotate on the DWF. Please go through these DWG's and make sure no outdated page setups are in use. If they are, set that option to NONE, and then try to create the DWF once more.

Shawn -

I am publishing from the Sheet Set Manager. All of the Named Page Setups are valid in the all of the drawings (since they are numerous).

The title block has one word "REVISION" that rotates. Its the only word that does it, and only when selecting publish to dwf from the sheet set manager.

Feel free to contact me if you need any additional information. The email address is below.

Other than publishing sheet
individually have you had any luck find a work-around for this?

Thanks,

Publish Sheet set To DWF - no.

I can print to PDF without issue or directly to plotter without issue.

So, Sadly - nothing to report.

Just an update - I finally submitted the issue to Autodesk - SR# 1-7445369421 - DWF Publish rotates text that PDF or Plotter doesn't...

The response is as follows:

In the meantime, the only known solution is to plot the problematic sheets individually, as you have found. In some instances, removing the problematic files from the sheet set, and then re-adding them has solved the problem. In other instances, deleting the DWF PC3 file, and recreating it solved the problem. Please note that these suggestions are not guaranteed to work as they have only solved the problem in a few instances. The only definite solution is plotting the sheets individually.

Thank's Shawn for your help.

I had this issue a few months back & Autodesk was no help either. However i ran a few test on my own & found out that using windows true type fonts exacerbates this abnormality. It was an inclusive change since so we resorted to using only SHX for our text style (mainly on our titleblock). This seem to have circumvented the bug for us which was a better option than individually publishing dwf's (defeats the purpose). Hope this helps.

I think I am going to proceed with DWF as only internal markups at this point and continue to proceed using PDFs as they don't exhibit the behavior.

We have switch to a much more heavy TTF use for claritys sake, esp when printing to PDFs.
