txtexp moves and scales text

LeanderTorres — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 15:19:19 GMT

Hi,

Example as attachment. When I try to explode the text with 'txtexp' it moves the text to another position and scales it. Is there any way to prevent this? Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

This is a normal behavior for 'txtexp' command.

I suggest to try WMFIN (Command). This command often keeps geometry more stable and produce polylines without moving/scaling the geometry. >> Click <<

your UCS is rotated...change UCS to World and then type PLAN World

Thank you for the reply, however this requires more steps then Paul Li's solution.
