Set Text Generation Flag

The text generation flag specifies if the text is displayed backward or upside-down. To set the text generation flag, use the TextGenerationFlag property. To display the text backward, enter acTextFlagBackward for this property. To display the text upside-down, enter acTextFlagUpsideDown for this property. To display the text both backward and upside-down, add the two constants together by entering acTextFlagBackward+acTextFlagUpsidedown for this property.

Display text backward

This example creates a line of text, then sets it to be displayed backward using the TextGenerationFlag property.

Sub Ch4_ChangingTextGenerationFlag()

    Dim textObj As AcadText

    Dim textString As String

    Dim insertionPoint(0 To 2) As Double

    Dim height As Double

          ' Create the text object
          textString = "Hello, World."
          insertionPoint(0) = 3
          insertionPoint(1) = 3
          insertionPoint(2) = 0
          height = 0.5
          Set textObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace. _
       AddText(textString, insertionPoint, height)
                ' Change the value of the TextGenerationFlag
          textObj.TextGenerationFlag = acTextFlagBackward
          textObj.Update
      End Sub
