RE: ARC TEXT
I couldn't reproduce Your Problem. If the textstyle is identically, the sv "MIRRTEXT" on 0, the ucs on world,in both(!) *.dwgs, I don't know any solution.

RE: ARC TEXT
The Express Tools help file gives this explination, Text Explode - Explodes Text or MText into geometry that can be assigned a thickness or an elevation.
Have you tried this?

So even that doesn't work on "arctext"
RE: ARC TEXT
also if it is, then in the arc text editor try format -> reverse order before you explode.
hope this helps

RE: ARC TEXT
After mirroring and then rotating back into possition, I find that the arc of the text has changed, so I need to move each individual letter into place. I wonder if 2004 has fixed this.
RE: ARC TEXT
try this: in arc text editor, format -> direction -> outward from the center. then adjust as needed so text looks good then try to explode. seems to work here for both
acad 14 & 2002.
also these forums need a spell checker!
hope this helps

RE: ARC TEXT
spell checks take the fun out of some typos and besides no one really cares that much.

The DXBOUT needs to be a PRINTER.
Go to "ADD-A-PLOTTER WIZARD"
On my PC, it's ...
Go to C:\Acad2000\Plotters
Double click on "ADD-A-PLOTTER WIZARD"
NEXT
(select) MY COMPUTER
NEXT
(left side : select) AutoCAD DXB File
NEXT
NEXT
NEXT
(Give it a name "PLOT TO DXB FILE")
NEXT
FINISH
Hope that helps someone.
