Converting a text layer to polylines

infoLCJHY — Fri, 14 Jul 2023 15:40:01 GMT

I'm trying to convert a text layer to polylines using the express tools.

When I do this the text layer is converted but scales to the righthand corner and shrinks.

The original file is in meters but it looks likes it scales it when it converts it?

Here is my workflow.

Open text layer - select all text

Express tools - Modify text (dropdown) - Explode

At this stage the text has converted to lines but shrinks and moves to the right.

Hopefully this is a simple fix?

Thanks Jim

INSUNITS use zero, this is your file after txtexp.
