Hi
I've noticed that the v8i version of atools in v8i 33 is not putting text at the centre of shapes even when the setting auto place text centre is used, I have tried with all variations of the text justification and regular shapes like squares, rectangles, triangles and irregular closed polygons and it no longer places the text at the centre like it used to in previous editions... real pity because this is a very useful and easy tool.. all other freeware tools to achieve the same thing require too much configuration and some contravene IT policy whereas the mdl doesnt and can even run on usb memory stick....
if anyone else is getting it to work as intended please post it here include the supplementary files toos just incase...perhaps my files are corrupted somehow...

Unknown said:Exactly which version of MicroStation V8i are you using? I see that the last time the Wiki was revised is in 2010. This would make the version of V8i it was tested with one of the earlier ones. Maybe if you could provide an example design file or maybe just a few screen captures to show what is occurring then we could check whether there might be a problem with this tool.
Hi Andrew,
OK using v8i ss3 811 09 459
the atool.ma is the v8i one listed in the utilities library content, I have removed all previous versions prior to this mdl and associated dll and rsc files...
here is proof of results the text no matter what justification does not get placed in the centre automatically during placement it is off centre by a lot...
It used to do it perfectly ie always ended up in centre of shape automatically and worked even better if the active text justification was centre center.. now it seem to be closest ( still very wrong) if you use top left justification .... text size and shape size makes a difference on how far it lands from the true centre...

Hi Abu,
this is 2 years old discussion about different topic! (atools not working properly, not attool cannot be loaded).
Please create a new post, I recommend to use MicroStation forum.
With regards,
