When I edit the text in Autocad, its angle changes to 270 degrees.

When I edit the text in Autocad, its angle changes to 270 degrees.The text can only be edited at 270 degrees. I make the angle 0 degrees from 'text properties'. But when I want to edit again, it goes back to its previous state.

When I re-edited it went back to its previous state.I set the rotation degree to 0rotation 270 degreesI can only write at 270 degrees

I cannot reproduce that here.

Does this happen in just one drawing?

If you start a new drawing, does it happen?

If you start a new drawing with no template file, does it happen?  Use the NEW, not QNEW command.  In the Select template dialog, choose the button to the right of the Open button (downward pointing triangle icon) and choose one of the Open with no Template options (Imperial or Metric).

If AutoCAD only behaves as you expect when starting without a template, then your template has an odd combination of UCS/ANGBASE/something else? settings.  If it is just one (or a few) files, the odd settings are just in those files.  If it always behaves that way, then I would guess that there is something wrong with your installation.  Is this a new installation?  Did it ever behave as you expected?

There is no problem with the new file, but there are problems with some of the old files. How can I fix it?

[David_W_Koch]

Can you share one of the old files here?  I am not certain what was done to get them into this state, so I cannot say what needs to be undone.

My file is attached.

I have downloaded your file and I am getting the same effects as you described within it.

The UCS is set to World.  I ran the PLAN command for the current (World) UCS; that did not change anything.  I do not see any odd settings on a first pass that would explain the behavior.  Let me dig into it some more.

Forums to the rescue!  I found a similar case in this thread.  The culprit is the font you have chosen for the Text Style being used.  Avoid all of the fonts that start with "@".  Changing the font from @Arial Unicode MS to Arial resolved the problem in your file for me.

Thank you so much!!

How does "@arial bold" differ from "arial bold"

Copilot

The difference between “@Arial Bold” and “Arial Bold” lies in how they are interpreted by software applications:

1. “@Arial Bold”: When a font name begins with the @ symbol (e.g., “@Arial Bold”), it indicates a specific style or variant within the Arial font family. In this case, it refers to the bold version of the Arial typeface. Software that recognizes this notation will select the bold variant from the Arial family.

2. “Arial Bold”: Without the @ prefix, the font name is treated as a standalone font. It does not necessarily belong to a larger font family. If you specify “Arial Bold”, the software will look for a font file named exactly that—Arial Bold—and use it directly.

In summary, “@Arial Bold” explicitly points to the bold style within the Arial family, while “Arial Bold” is a standalone font name. The choice depends on how the software handles font families and their variations.
