    Question Text comes in at wrong angle from routine accessed via company menu

    Was wondering if someone could figure this out. There is a button on this companies menu that work like this. Hit the button and this will insert a thermostat symbol (circle), next it ask to type in text for symbol (T), then it ask to pick the center of the circle and the text which is just a standard text pops in. The problem is the text comes in at a 4.5 degree angle which is wrong, should come in at 0 degree's. If you use dtext or mtext the text works fine. It only happens in one dwg. I didn't know if there were some variables I check or something. Thanks for your help if you respond to this. I don't have access to there menu, I would use something much easier.

    One thought: is the UCS rotated?

    if that's not it, could you post the macro so we can see if it's something in there?

    The ucs is not rotated. This is a lisp routine in the companies menu that i can not access. the only way they could fix it was to set up another dwg. I saved this one so i could try to fine out the problem.

    Hi

    Second thought...

    SnapAng is set a value greater than 0 ( Zero ).

    Have a good one, Mike

    Here's a thought: What about the text style?? Maybe the oblique angle is off. Don't they have an IT or CAD person to ask??

    I let the cad manager know. He's a little busy right now. None of the above solutions were the problem.
