Regarding Text position

[Anonymous]

Dear all

Today i have encountered with a small mystery, i have block with text inside it,when i try to mirror the object the text also gets mirrored and moreover it goes to upside position. Is there any method to overcome this phenomenon  .

Attached with a simple dwg file and thanks in advance

I don't see the upside issue.

I also do not see an "upside issue" (assume you mean upside-down?).
Using an attribute in lieu of a text object will mirror without text mirroring (follow the link from "imadhabash).
Makes me wonder what you are truly trying to accomplish?? Just duplicating blocks about a mirror line?
There are some great dynamic block features that you may want to study up on.

Cheers

enter new value for MIRRTEXT <0>

Sorry but no. Although it wasn't in the comments, the MIRRTEXT variable doesn't help with text in a block. This is why it was recommended that the text in the block be made an attribute.

As @imadHabash showed in the link this is expected behavior.  If you need to flip (not mirror) blocks and you really want text, not attributes, in your blocks, I suggest you convert your block to dynamic by using bedit to add flip parameter set to what you want to be able to mirror and mirror upside down.  Just don't select the text when using the flip set.
