MText doesn't automatically rotate when rotating entire plan in model space.

[juanjp123]

Hi guys,

so usually when I rotate a drawing that contains Mtext in it, the text automatically rotates itself while staying in the correct position. However, for this specific drawing I've opened, I'm attempting to rotate an entire building drawing in model space by 180 degrees, but when I do so, all of the text/annotations within the drawing aren't rotating automatically like they usually do. The text does appear to be Mtext.

Anyone know why this could be? Is there something in the text's properties or settings that I should change?

Thanks!

Can you share that DWG file here (or portion of it with the problem)?
OR... copy/paste all the modelspace content into one of your own "working-just-fine" empty template files: does the problem go away (or does something very new and odd appear)?

Hi pendean!

I attached the .dwg to this reply. Basically this was a PDF that I was assigned to convert to .DWG. I used AutoCAD LT's built in PDF convert tool and then cleaned it up manually.

I also tried to copyclip it into a new blank drawing but it won't pasteclip. I don't know why. It will only pasteclip into other drawings from the same batch of drawings I converted. So I couldn't test to see if the text would rotate fine in a clean drawing.

Thank you for your help and your time!

I appreciate it.

Thanks for the DWG file: why are you so far away from 0,0,0, the AutoCAD universe starting point? that translates to 25,492 miles. Fix that, many of your issues will probably go away maybe...

Otherwise, ROTATE command seems to work just fine

As does UCS command rotation with PLAN command set to "current ucs" to match it
