Problem with texts in a block, being printed thicker than texts outside it

Anonymous — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 16:14:16 GMT

Hi, i have a lot of drawings with sometimes 100+ layouts, and a block (the chart) with some texts, mtexts and spaces for texts that change from layout to layout. Thing is that texts and mtext inside the block definition are being printed thicker than "outsider" texts. Even if i copypaste the same text inside the block definition, they are printed with different thickness.

They are set in the same layer, color, line thicknes, text style, both non annotative, and i have tryed changing one insert thicness to 0.0 and print, too, but didnt fixed it.

Anyone knows why this is happening?

Hi, this can happen due to different elevations of texts, try FLATTEN to move all text to a same elevation.

Regards,

Flatten works on lines, polilynes and arcs as far i know, but never tryed if flatten works on them if they are inside a block. Anyways, elevation and Z are set on zero on all texts (inside and outside the block)

Hi @Anonymous,

is it possible to attach a sample file so I can try this on my side?

NEVERMIND. A "friend" added a lisp to edit the block whenenever i wrote _batchplot. Funny.

Sorry
