Rhino 8 - Text Entity does not respect View Oriented override

Grasshopper
1

I am trying to use the built in text annotation to create a series of numbers on a wheel. Below is my grasshopper script and what I’m seeing in the viewport. Despite setting ‘View Oriented’ to false, the text is oriented to view.

Below is the same script using Text Tag 3D, getting the text oriented properly.

Am I misunderstanding how Text Entity works? How can I get the text to orient properly using the component?

Hi Shane -

For the time being, you’ll need to change the Rhino Annotation Styles -> [Active_Style] -> Font -> Text reads forward when viewed from behind setting.

The Grasshopper component needs an extra input to set this from within Grasshopper:
