Each Hebrew character on a path is mirrored

[lynn.sim]

I am trying to place this text on a circular path.  In the text dialog text window it appears exactly as it should.  But on the path each individual character is backwards.  I am using the Frank CurledLamed font, with the Windows Hebrew keyboard enabled.  The characters are entered using the Windows onscreen keyboard.

I also tried using the spline tool to create a curve.  Exactly the same results.  The horizontal and vertical flip options just make the problem worse.

שמע ישראל יהוה אלהינו יהוה אחר ואחבת את יחוח אלחיך בכל לבבך ובכל נפשך ובכל מאדך

Am I missing something, or is this a bug?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This is the spline attempt:

This is the circular attempt:

Thank you.

I just tried using a regular rectangular text box.  The text appeared exactly as it should. So it appears that the text on path option is where the problem is.

Welcome to the Community.  I have moved your post here for better visibility.  Hopefully you can get some good advice.  Good luck!

your working from the back side of the sketch.  you can tell because the numbers on the axis are negative to the right.

every plane and sketch has a front and a back.

[lynn.sim]

Thanks, @laughingcreek.  However, I can rotate the image around so numbers go positive on the x and y axis, and flip it completely over, and the characters are still backwards.  I am not familiar enough with the Hebrew language to know what the different characters are called.  The little character on the right (יש)  has to be facing to the left.  (Sorry, tried to make it bigger, but it didn't work) With everything i have tried, including rotating and flipping the image, that character still points to the right.

@lynn.sim Hi, are you still looking for more help with this?

[lynn.sim]

Yes, I am. A Fusion expert told me that is definitely a bug.

Thanks,
Lynn

@lynn.sim 

Would you be able to share your file for someone to take a look at?

[lynn.sim]

I would be glad to. Should I just upload it here?

[CGBenner]

@lynn.sim 

Yes, that would work... unless it is top secret or something.  This way more people could take a look, and maybe someone will figure something out that helps you.

@lynn.sim Have you experimented with the placement and flip options?

[lynn.sim]

Yes, I have. The flip just flips the entire string, thus changing the order of the characters. I need the sequence to stay the same, but each character needs to be flipped individually.

CGBenner, which file format would be best for my upload?  Thanks.

IS the text supposed to be written from right to left rather than left to right? I guess Fusion is getting this wrong!

EDIT. I guess for a workaround you might have to use something like InkScape to create an SVG file if InkScape can create the text correctly. Another program that might be worth a try would be QCad and export as a DXF.

[lynn.sim]

Fusion is putting the characters in the correct sequence, and doing it from right to left as expected. The problem is each character being flipped backwards.

@lynn.sim When I copy and paste you text into a text box on the XY plane (Fusion's set to Z up), I get this. Isn't this correct? EDIT. Sorry missed the last line in your first post.

@lynn.sim Don't know if this program might help, it reverses the sentence so mirroring would reverse it back but also make the character the right way around, I think. I haven't tried it out but it was suggested on another CAD forum as a workaround.

Yes, this is exactly correct.  Now create a path and use Text on path.  That is when the problem appears.  I'm trying to use a circular path, but a spline path causes the same problem.

@lynn.sim Are you sure the text is from right to left without mirroring? When I try text on path the text is created from left to right on the path without mirroring.

Text box at the bottom which is correct? On path top without mirror is backwards but characters correct.

[lynn.sim]

Mark, flipping the sentence reverses the sequence.  If you have THE and reverse it you get EHT (with the E reversed).  Fusion does the correct sequence, but reverses the individual characters.  It would be like having THE with the E reversed (reversing the T and H doesn't make a visible difference in this example).

[lynn.sim]

Mark, sorry, I took a closer look at what you were saying, and ran some tests.  I must have missed the fact that, with placement above path, no fit to path, no flipping, and left alignment, the text is written from left to right, with each character reversed (circular path makes it hard to tell where it starts and stops).  I've included a screen shot that shows the problem with text on path, and shows that a normal text block displays it correctly.
