TBC version 5.2 Drafting Templates are now linked to the coordinate system used thus, when you are using a coordinate system in the Southern Hemisphere increasing South/West, the template is rotated to face that direction and its haphazard.. Has anyone encountered this problem and how can I correct it? See attachments 

Hi Terison,

There was a similar issue introduced in TBC v5.20 with text being flipped upside down in South Azimuth, South-West positive coordinate systems. That issue has since been addressed in TBC v5.20.2 patch, but it seems we overlooked the issue in the Sheet View. 

I've entered a bug for our developers to get this addressed in our next release. In the meantime, the text can be flipped to the correct orientation using the following steps:

1. Open the 'Advanced Select' command.
2. In the 'Data type:', choose 'CAD Text'. Press 'Apply'.
   
3. Open 'Properties' (press F11).
4. In the 'Appearance' section, change the 'Auto flip' section to 'Yes' and the 'Justification' section to 'Bottom right'. (Note: You may have to change the justification one by one for some text boxes)
   
5. Repeat steps 1-4, but this time choose 'CAD Multiline Text'.

Alternatively, a simpler method would be to download TBC 5.10 and use it for drafting work, though you will not be able to use the features introduced in 5.20.

Thanks for the update.

This issue has not been resolved in the new version. It's very inconvenient especially with cross sections. Please address this. It's kind of frustrating. Probably you are no longer considering us in the Southern Hemisphere.

Hey Terison,

The TBC v5.21 release did not include the fix for this sheet view bug because it is an intermediate release focused on adding WorksManager and Mobile Mapping features, with only critical bug fixes added. The fix for this bug will be coming in the next TBC release.
