Running Microstation v8i, version 08.11.07.508 on 32-bit Windows 7
We recently switched from XP to Windows 7. Since the switch, text comes in view-independent by default.
I want to it come in view-dependent by default. It used to do this. I've searched these forums and Google, but can't find the answer. I'm sure there's a setting somewhere, but where?
Thanks, Robert. That sounds likely. (Information on the text does come up as view dependent.)
I'm afraid I don't know much about AccuDraw. Frankly, I hate it with the intensity of a thousand burning suns, and never use it. I tried turning it on and it didn't make a difference. And the text is coming in by view orientation in other files, without AccuDraw. So how do I disable the global orientation in this file?
Hi,
We have a terminology problem. The text is NOT view independent. The situation is that the text is being placed by the global orientation rather than the view orientation or AccuDraw. For some reason, AccuDraw is not coming up when you place text.
To demostrate, rotate the view to a random angle and then try to place text relative to the view. The text inserts at the active angle, relative to the global origin rather than the view rotation.
I noticed that the model is marked as a cell. That could be the first problem.
I also noticed that if you use AccuDraw for anything, you can hit the V key for view, but as soon as your command stops, AccuDraw returns to the T mode (model top rather than view). I also noticed that if you do get AccuDraw to come up for placing text, the text will be placed per AccuDraw as expected.

Could you do an element infomration on the the text and verify that it is view-independent. This is what I see:
When I place text with the view rotated, AA=0, it comes in so it's right side up at vi=top
This file contains view-depedent text and when I placed new text it is view-dependent. How are you verifying that the text is view-independent and not view-dependent?
