Installation/Uninstallation

The installer that ran when you downloaded this plug-in from Autodesk App Store has already installed the plug-in. You may need to restart the Autodesk product to activate the plug-in.

Additional Information

Known Issues

UCS is supported. However, the default text rotation has been intentionally set to the horizontal of the WCS. Also alignment angles of curves are intentionally set using the WCS. Added support may be enabled if user feedback warrants it. 

The grip is not enabled on MTEXT with columns or DTEXT justified as Align or Fit.
