How to STOP Text Mirroring in Blocks
Hi All,
In this video we will be going over how to prevent text in blocks from being mirrored. To be honest, I had never run across this issue myself so I had the chance to learn as well. The simple answer to this problem is that your text needs to be placed into your drawing as a block attribute. Check out the video for a full run down of this interesting and less common issue.

How to Draw a CYLINDER (Isometric 2D) - AutoCAD
Very helpful. Also, purple shows up great over black or white backgrounds.
Great callout! I don't normally use a white background but would for sure need to change the color if I did.
oh thank you for this video! I finally solved my problem! Can you please make another video about: how to keep the Text inside block staying NOT mirrored?
Not a problem! I actually have never run into this issue but can do some investigating and try to make a video about it!
@@matt.autocadbasics looking forward!
Which software/app you are using
It is called AutoCAD which is a modeling software developed by the company Autodesk.
thanks for effort but voice is very low
After reviewing the video it sounds like something happened with the volume while editing....... I wish there was a way to go back and update this but I can't do that without deleting the video. Thank you for the callout. Will make sure future videos don't have this problem.
Thank you ❤ It helped solve my problem
Not a problem! I'm happy the video helped!
How would I change the circle so that the cylinder is vertical instead of horizontal?
Thanks for the comment/question! Try going to the bottom right hand tool bar where you will find the Isometric Drafting button with an arrow next to it. Click on the arrow and then click the "isoplane Top" button and this should switch you to your desired view. You can also type ISODRAFT into the command bar then click/select "isoplane Top" when it appears in the command bar. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Perfect❤
Nice
Smooth explanation and straight to the point. You need more subs dude. Video helped out a ton with projects that I got to do for school.👍💪
Thank you, I really appreciate the comment! Good luck with all your projects and if you need any help please reach out!
Wrong, there is a better dimension
Do you mean that there is a better way to dimension in the isometric view? if so, could you explain? It would be helpful for me and/or anyone else watching the video. Thanks!

Thank you for this! you can also access this through the command bar.
Can you show us how to design dock doors and levelers, please?
Personally, I just use a block that I have saved. Since most dock levelers and doors are similar in spec a pre-drawn block is what is most commonly used. I am working on creating a space where I can place this file for anyone to be able to access when I finish the series. If you are still interested I can make a video that shows how I would draw one!
@@matt.autocadbasics Thank you so much! Getting the access of your AutoCAD files would help me in practicing well.
I like your vlog as it is helpful, just to learning the fundamental of useful features of all cad software. I have subscribed!!!!
I'm happy you find it helpful! Thanks for subscribing!
Vary easy methode ,thank's
Not a problem! Happy it helped!
How did you get AUTOCAD to Inches? I can't seem to switch it over.
In the lower right hand corner you should see a small rectangular control box that has a small ruler icon in it. When you hover your mouse over it, it should say "UNITS". You will have to go to the right of that small control box and click the drop down arrow. Once you click the arrow you should have 5 different options. I have mine set on "Engineering" which allows me to draw in inches/feet. Let me know if this works!
Thanks sir this was very helpful... And straight to point....
No problem! Glad it helped.
Thank you! I only have autocad LT and struggling to draw hexagon. lifesaver
No problem, If you need help with anything else let me know!
Thank you for this video!
No problem, glad it helped!

No problem!
Why it's so hard to find answer on how to remove a drawing. All I find is remove block.
Sorry that this is difficult to find. I can hopefully make a video that helps witht this problem but will need more information. When you say "remove a drawing" are you referring to and external reference (XREF)? or are you trying to do something else?
i have pickfirst set to 1, and it still makes me select the object. happening in civil 3D for profile view properties
Sorry this didn't work for you. It sounds like this is more common with AutoDesk Civil and that your system variables got switched around. I would recommend making sure your "QAFLAGS" or "AFLAGS" are set up properly. For example my AFLAGS is set to "16" but I also use the regular version of AutoCAD so it might be different within Civil. I would also recommend making sure your "PICKADD" is set up properly. If all else fails you can try resetting your system variables. Here is the link on AutoDesk for this exact problem and how they recommend fixing it. www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Pickfirst-not-working-in-Civil-3D-2018.html

Hi really helpful series, a tutorial for vertical storage layout (with forklift clearance) would be very helpful! Thank you:)
Adding it to the list!
what website do you recommend to get these blocks?
Check out the link below! They have some good and useful blocks. I created the dock levelers myself based on current dimensions. cad-block.com/
thank you! ✌
Hi, have you done a video on Group command and if yes, can me send me a link of that.
Thanks for the comment! I have not created one yet but can add it to the top of the list and make it soon!
