Hello
I'm here to share with you what I've just noticed:
When drawing TEXT entities we are given the possibility to choose a justification,
It is possible to choose to draw the text from the point MIDDLE CENTER, LOWER RIGHT etc...
BUT
when extracting the data (DATAEXTRACTION) and asking for the insertion point of the TEXT entity
AutoCAD ignores the justification and indicates the LOW LEFT point ignoring the chosen justification.
This picture describes what I just explained:
Three texts of color magenta, orange and blue each inserted at point 10.0,10.0 but with a different justification and below the table delivered by the data extraction where we can see different coordinates of position.
The same happens if we send the data in an Excel workbook instead of a table in the drawing.
and I find it inaccurate because the Excel data could be used to query contact information and then you lose information.
I know perfectly well that the insertion point is convoluted in the list of the TEXT entity in the case of a justification different from LOW LEFT but I would have liked the programmers of the software to think about this "detail".
And in your case, it is the same?
My test was performed on a full 2021 version.
more precisely R. 118.0.0 AutoCAD 2021.1
Friendly
this is a software translation because I'm not really bilingual like many French people...
but I speak perfectly autoCAD
