Hi,
I'm having an issue with Annotative blocks that are Xrefed into paper space.

I'm Xrefing my title block and it has a north arrow block on it.
The north arrow block contains 4 letters (N, S, E, W) which I would like to have them aligned with the view when plotted. So I created a dynamic block that can rotate and the letters are annotative, so they can always show aligned with the view.

After Xrefing the TB the North block still looks great but... If I try to plot in Landscape mode the letters on the block rotate as if I was to rotate the page to the right and if I preview in Portrait mode it look fine.

Are there any settings that control or can help this issue?

Thanks in advance,
Ofir Konforti

Can you use a landscape / portrait type page size instead? If there's none shown for your plotter, you could create a custom type. But some plotters would not work correctly with this, it's a trial & error process.

Otherwise you'll need 2 versions of the block, one for landscape & one for portrait.
