changespace mtext with wrong orientations

Anonymous
Not applicable

This one is kind of weird:  I have a dwg with several viewports on paperspace with different orientations using DVTwist.  When the Mtext with a rotation of 0 is pulled through the viewport to paper space using changespace, the text looks identical to itself when it was in the model space, but it is calling the offkilter rotation '0'.

 

I did this with several viewports with texted at 0 rotation but viewports in several rotations all of the text came in with their varying angles into the paperspace but all had a property of rotation zero.  I have no idea how this is happening on my drawing

Are you using Mtexts or Labels?

 

Because for labels, I use this option to fix my viewport.

This is Mtext, not a label.  I don't think you can put a label into paperspace.  Also it is of a non annotating text style and also occurs with standard text.  I can take the clipboard the viewport to a different dwg and it will have the same weird results, while the other veiwports have changespaced text behave normally.  Additionally if I clip board a viewport from a dwg to the one that is messed up, the text that gets pulled through with changespace in those view ports behave normally.  Is there some sort of default settings for viewports when they are generated in a drawing that would carry over when you copy clipboard the viewport to the other drawing?

 

I apparently now have a work around but I really hate not knowing why something like this is constantly happening in a drawing.  The dwg is coming in from the Survey side of the company which works off a different template and doesn't use paperspace much or even most of the civil 3d functions, so if something is off, I'm going to keep getting impinged by it.

 

oh, and I appreciate the help.  I assume that goes without saying but you should always say that sort of thing....

If you could "knock" your file down and remove any objects you wish to not divulge, post it here for someone to find the problem.

I found that I can make a vp in a different dwg and copy it into this dwg and it behaves, so at this point I'm going to just called this a corrupted file, work around the problem and let it go.  The dwg came from a different company and has suffered through several generations of CAD up until now starting in 2007.  

 

thanks for the help though, but I'm convinced this one is just an mutated abomination
