Solved: Annotated text not centered when printing

mdieckmeyer · ‎09-19-2023

Hello,

I center my annotated text into a circle in model space and when I print it, it's off centered.

See attached.

Looks like you have a font substitution taking place?

or your model is at one annotative scale, and your plot output is at a different annotative scale and your annotative TEXT adjusted in size as it is supposed to do.

Which could it be? You are welcome to share that portion of your DWG file here for someone to look it over if you need help deciphering it.

Here's my file.

Thank you for the reply.

Thanks for the file @mdieckmeyer Who set it up for you? I'd ask them for guidance, there are lots of deliberate settings in there that you may not be using.

You are indeed using an annotative mtext, so when you change plot scales it resizes as it is supposed to do.

Questions:

1) Can you use a non-annotative text STYLE in your file? the little symbol next to NOTES is not what you want if MR is to always remain the same size all the time in relationship to the circle.

2) why did you use an MTEXT with a width that is not correctly justified to be in the center of a circle?

Use a TEXT object, it does not have a window for one thing.

Then use the correct justification for text: instead of spending time and effort sliding and scootching text around a circle, then have to repeat it if the letters ever change, just use the correct text justification in the first place. like this (no the middle of the text and the CENTER of the circle are in perfect alignment)
