In example, text height extracted directly from “text entity” component is wrong. Going the “Annotation style overrides” → “Annotation Style” - > “Text settings” route yields the correct result. Same for other values, fonts are different, other properties return instead of value (mask size for exa…

The Text Entity> Text Setting is returning the default Text Settings (which could now be overridden individually). The Text Entity> Text Settings will return the manual overrides if given, the manual change does not affect the Annotation Style output [image]

So text height of 1 means the text has default value and I have to consult annotation style for what it actually is, or it was overriden to 1? I get that style output returns what the style is. But text settings has to return the actual values, no matter if they are as per style or not.

In general you would only edit the Annotation Style to affect all Text placed on that style globally. If there was a manual change or you wanted to change Instance heights the Text Entity > Annotation Text Settings would be appropriate. [image] Great point on the override to 1, that would be pr…

I’m not sure I understand what you’re after. The Text Entity → Annotation Text Setting will only return values that you have been overridden. It doesn’t automatically return all of the default values for the style. It will return null for any value that’s not manually overridden, otherwise, it will …

Just this. As per above, I cannot just mirror the entity itself. [image] I just had an idea. I will test it tomorrow but it appears to do what I want. [image]

[image] Vojtech_Liska: I could use “bake”, but then I would have to manually delete the baked geometry upon update. The new Content Cache component allows you to simply “update” an existing object, rather than adding a new copy of the same geometry. This would mean you wouldn’t have to manual…

I got back to this issue after a small hiatus and came up with a solution. The task is: how to mirror text so it appears correctly when exported to AutoCAD. Vertical alignment is flipped to keep the closest distance from text entity to mirror line the same for original and mirror image. [image] …
