problem with copy and paste

Anonymous — Mon, 08 Jun 2015 22:12:15 GMT

When I copy a drawing and paste it into another one, somehow the label in grid bubbles are not in the bubbles anymore. All the labels are mirrored with the centerline of the drawing and also flipped over. (The words are facing inside of the screen) How can I solov this problem?

Thank you very much.

Check the UCS settings of the source and destination files.

Somewhere I think they are different.

The label in grid bubble off center problem could be that the text style of the bubble text is already existing and has a different justification.

The view in your drawing is set to "top".

If you set the view to "bottom" the gris looks fine.

My guess is that the grid was drawn in the source drawing with the orthagonal view set to "bottom".

When you paste this into a drawing with the view set to "top" (as is the normal way) you get the result of a mirror.

@leothebuilder Thanks for your reply. I changed the view to "Bottom", the label looks right; however, the rest of the drawing is mirrored.

What do you think is the easiest way to fix this labels?

Thanks!

You need to keep the view to "top".

Mirror or rotate the grid in 3d.

Or just redraw the grid in the proper orientation, should take all of 30 seconds.
