I find that if I mirror/copy a stair, the stair numbering comes out correct in the mirror copy.
If the stair is in a reference and I mirror/copy the reference, then the stair numbering gets mirrored which I obviously don't want...
Anyone come across that problem already?
Not that I've ever tried this, but I believe it's because the stair itself isn't being mirrored, but a static representation of it via the mirrored reference attachment. I'm not so sure there's any way around that - the same thing happens with other annotation such as Door and Window IDs, and even plain text.
I would think the solution would be to mirror the 3d stair into a 3d master model then the extraction would not do this...

Sure Eric, but remember the whole point was to have 1 master core in this case that can be referenced AND mirrored ...
Chris - sorry for confusion.
I am saying and agree with the same as you, and question the same results you are seeing.
Use the stair tool to create a 3d Stair. Reference that model several different ways, rotated, flipped, it should not matter.
Then when the extraction looks at it it - should then always create parallel to the run of the stair and to the orientation of the view when created
There are alot of cells and such that do not take advantage or orientation. A Point cell for text should correct this and be used in some cases.
I'll leave that up to the programmers.
Understand, and appreciate your feedback Eric, many thanks.
