Text reversed on R5 export from R7

Rhino Rhino for Windows

Hi Guys,

A colleague of mine has a had a strange issue on a file she is working on.

The ‘source’ file is a 2D DXF export from a industry specific software package. She is doing some changes/amendments in Rhino 7 then has to supply a Rhino 5 file to the client.

In Rhino 7 all the text appears normally:

But when exported from R7 to an R5 file and opened in Rhino 5 the text is reversed or rotated:

The R5 file when opened in R7 has the text the correct direction.

Is there a fix for this we have missed?

Sample files attached.

Cheers

It looks like the text was originally created from the other direction. In V7 you have this setting in the annotation style, which automatically flips it front-facing:

If you uncheck it, you get this:

I think V5 did not have this possibility, so it shows reversed - as it seems to have been made originally (possibly from a bottom view).

Does Mirror the text fix it?

Thanks guys - at least we can now see the issue in R7 and can fix the few pieces of text that were reverse.

Cheers
