Attribute Definition Rotation Challenge

[ebsoares]

Hi, all.

Got this block here (see dwg attachment below) with attribute definitions that someone has created in the past (do not know who).

The challenge to me is that, if you rotate this block using the rotate command (not a rotate parameter or grip, mind you), the attribute definitions rotate with it - but - the attribute definitions remain upright!

Try as I might, I cannot create a new block that mimics this behavior (unless I use the rotation parameters and whatnot).

Could someone help me understand how this was created?

Thanks in advance,

Edgar

The text in this block rotates because it is annotative and has that option Checked in the text style ITS name is RWB_Aligned if you use this style it will stay oriented with the layout.

Type STYLE on the command line to see it.

Thanks @GeeHaa!
I tried creating a new block with attributes using a new text style with that property toggled on and it worked!

Besides that, I also tried going into an existing block which was using an existing text style that didn't initially have that property on. After changing the property style for that existing text style to match the orientation, the existing block didn't catch that change (even with attribute sync command) - if I rotate the block the attributes don't rotate with it...

Looks like this fix is not "backwards compatible" for existing blocks...

Is that what you see if you try it on your end as well?
