Attributes in my blocks are mirrored

The attributes in my dynamic block have become mirror and appear inverted. This happened recently, before this they were fine. The block itself is correct and in the correct position, the attributes have the issue.

 

I have a very similar block which does not have this issue. I have never had this issue before, been using blocks like this for a long time now.

 

Has anyone got a solution for this?

Post your block so we can have a look at it. Also make sure that none of the X,Y or Z scale of the block have a "-" in front of the scale

They had a "-". Hanging my head in shame.

How would this have changed?

Thanks for your help.

If using the mirror command on a block it will change the scale to the "-" version of it.

It returned the attributes to the correct position at that scale. But when I view in another scale the blocks are now completely (block and attributes) in the wrong position. There is no negative value in the scale geometry.

If I sync the scales is this the best solution? It appears that I can only sync one at a time...

Type ATTSYNC and select one of your blocks. Does that work.

 

Also your block looks a bit cumbersome. You don't need two separate stretches. One with the basepoint at the middle will work. See the attached drawing.

ATTSYNC doesnt work. The X position has a negative value now, if I change this to positive it returns to the original position (rotation askew).

 

Is there a solution to change all these at once?

1. You forgot to change the BASE LOCATION of your BUBBLE WIDTH parameter to MIDPOINT. Do that and your block will stretch as you want.

As to your other problem. AutoCAD remembers the position and rotation of each "scale" in an annotation block separately. So to get it back to normal you need to change to each scale and change the relevant values to 0. See the ringed items in the images below

Great thanks. 

 

I will delete the annotative scale thats the issue and re-apply it.
