TEXT IN MODELING NOT STAYING ASSOCIATIVE
TEXT IN MODELING NOT STAYING ASSOCIATIVE
(OP)
Why does the text in modeling not stay with the planar face it is placed on when the face is normal to the "Y" axis. If I place it on the a face normal to the "X" axis, and move that face, the text moves with it, as I would expect. I select the "associative" option when I create the text, but when I edit parameters, the "associative" option is gone. Is there another setting I have to turn on to keep the text curves on that face?
Thanks
Thanks

Please mention the version you are using.
Anyway in 7.5 which i use, the text is defenitely parametric. I used on face option and i used the edge of the face as location and now add a move face command before the text and the text will move wherever the face goes. And even you can rotate the face and the text will re-orient.
Yes its true that associativity check box is gone in case you want to edit and you have to use remove parameters to break the associativity.

For example, here's a model where I created a PMI note aligned with the vertical side of the extruded body, but when I went back and added Draft to the extrusion the note updated to align with now tapered face:
