Isometric Text

[gsksun4]

I'm almost afraid to ask this. How do you do dtext in isometric? I have attached a small test drawing and I want to put text on the large area on the same 30 degree angle. This is just a test file. Thanks.

Make 2 text styles with oblique angles of 30 and -30 degrees. When creating the text use increments of 30 degrees for the angle.

That's pretty simple and already in my notes.

Thank you.

You might brush up a bit at this website. Take a peek-a-boo at chapter 40.

You can print off the lesson or save to your HDD; *.pdf file format.

Tankman. These tutorials are great, Heh, she even used my regular font ROMANS. I wish I had this tutorial 20 years ago. I put this in my favorites a week ago.

Thank you Sir.

Excellent, I too could've used them years ago.

 

Take a peek-a-boo at my drawing posted, and take a look at your drawing. Might be wrong but, was your ISO at 24°?

 

Where are you posting from? Just curious.

Yeah, I noticed that when I put the isotext in. Haste makes waste as they say. I'm in St. Pete, Florida.

 

By the way, I'm now testing this in MTEXT, but not getting the same results. I set the rotation in the command line at 30 degrees and in the MTEXT window I set the oblique at 30 degrees, but it's not right. I'm using 2009LT.

I don't see oblique as a property for MTEXT.

 

MTEXT setting oblique? Don't see that when I start to type.

I do see the angle setting. Was able to enter text at 30° then

adjust oblique to 30° in "modify properties."

 

Didn't look right, edited text adding a blank space at the beginning of "CadTutor Forums."

OK, now I got it. I set the oblique angle in the formatting mgr, then set the rotation angle in the properties mgr. Only thing is, it works for the 30 degree but not the -30. Oh well, no big deal.

Thanks Tankman.

If it won't accept -30 then use 330.

[gsksun4]

If it won't accept -30 then use 330.

 

Tried that too. It comes out an odd angle. Also, if I don't set the style mgr to -30 oblique first, it completely kicks me out of cad in MTEXT when I hit OK. Acad LT Alert. AutoCad cannot continue.

It's probably an LT glitch. But it doesn't make sense. I can do the text on a 30, but not a -30 or 330. DTEXT works fine with both, it's the MTEXT with the problem.
