Single-Line Text Justification

[ericbouwkamp]

I have a tool that takes data from other pages, and creates tags to be laser etched. This tool grabs a dwt, loads it into a side database, inserts a block from another dwg, creates references as needed, then populates the attribute values per the gathered data. 

Upon an initial save (Database.SaveAs()), we have weird single line text behavior when the drawing is opened in DWG TrueView. The text all seems middle left justified. This is resolved once I open the dwg normally in AutoCAD and save it again. 

Any ideas or things that I should look at?

Pictures attached.

Thanks

I suppose you mean the Justification of attribute (AttributeReferences of the block reference). 

This issue as you described (inserting block reference and its attributes via a side database) is a known issue and has been discussed in this forum for quite a few times. The trick is to set the side database as WorkDatabase before inserting blocks/attributes.
