Text inside block doesn't respect MIRRTEXT variable?

JorisHoogstede

When I have a block with text inside it the text always gets mirrored when using the mirror command. Even though the MIRRTEXT variable is set to 0 (OFF).

Is this normal behaviour or am I missing something here?

I'm on the latest V25 version.

Hello.

MIRRTEXT affects entities created with the TEXT, DTEXT, ATTDEF, or MTEXT commands.
Blocks have a different behavior, which is the same as in Autocad.

Something you could experiment with would the use of an attribute instead of a text.
For this to work, MIRRTEXT should be 0, and the attribute should not be Constant.

Thank you for clarifying this Virgil. I'll see what attributes can do for me in this case.
