More letters

[Chris Rizzo]

I have an strange and annoying problem...when placing letters at "top of arc", the line of letters starts at 12 o'clock and wraps around the arc clockwise...However at school when performing the same operation, the line of letters centers at 12 o'clock, and wraps counterclockwise and clockwise, keeping the line of text symetrically at the "top of the arc". Any ideas? thx

 

P.S. Same happens at "bottom of arc"...does not place symetrically about the 6 o'clock postion. Starts at 6 o'clock and wraps counter-clockwise. I just end up using modify>drag>rotate to get everything so it looks "reasonable". However certainly not accurate.

Just a hunch, but I wonder if this isn't related to some setting change in your drafting parameters.

 

 

Try hitting Alt-D, Going to Settings, and click on Get Default Globals.

 

 

Of course, you could always use Drag-Rotate to reposition. Or create a bounding box, create Point only to get a "center of mass" point, so you could rotate it precisely back to position, but those are just patches.

 

Better yet, just reload the software!

Thanks Charles,

 

Tried changing drafting settings that might be applicable, but to no avail...

cmr,

That is very strange.

I also messed around with the "Global Setttings" and could not get it to do what you are saying is happening.

Have you tried putting the Mastercam disk in and running a 'Repair'??

 

That sometimes can fix strange behavior by the program.
