What causes WYSIWYG to be skewed?

WYSIWYG - Really!?

@hencoop ,

This is an interesting issue, I have seen it before, it typically occurs in MTEXT objects that are rotated, have a DVIEW with a [TW]ist, and lastly are set to a Linetype something other than Continuous (something like CENTER) .

• Do you have a file you can post with this behavior?
• Also do these conditions exist in your drawing?

To alleviate the issue, try to set the linetype to the MTEXT objects as Continuous and or check the layer to ensure it also is set to Continuous.

This is a MULTILEADER.

The view is twisted; however, this same multileader is not misbehaving today.

The MULTILEADER is placed using a COMMAND function in autolisp and then the object's TextRotation is set horizontal to the view using Visual Lisp.

I do not use UCS VIEW and the skew is along the X-axis when this happens.

Maybe it is somehow seeing a remnant of the original value for its TextRotation (0°) for some period after the initial placement?

If it happens again soon I will try to post the file.

@hencoop ,

That certainly meets most of the conditions for this known issue in Civil 3D. If it happens again, check the Linetype, and set it to Continuous as a workaround. Until then best wishes! Thanks for posting it!

I'm sure that the linetype was and is Bylayer and that the linetype of the layer was and is Continuous but I'll double check if it happens again.  Thanks.
