On Nanocad 5, I wanted to draw some block symbols I could use in my wiring diagrams. I set the grid to ON with spacing at 1mm subdivisions and 10mm major divisions.

I drew a circle with a radius of 5mm in one of these grid major subdivisions. Inside the circle I wanted to put 2.5mm high text. I use these circles with text in them to refer to a notes or parts list.

I typed, "text" in the command line, set the height to 2.5mm and the angle to 0, then type the text I wanted e.g. the number, "2" which started to appear much smaller than 2.5mm or 2.5 subdivisions.

The circle then suddenly flew off to the right and grew in size.

I tried it several times and the result was exactly the same.

What is causing this to happen?

Thanks for your help.

Hello Plato,
how do you set the height and angle of text? Do you write it in command line, then press Enter?
Or after the message Specify text height <2.5>: you click by mouse?

Thanks for your quick response nanoCAD Team! I write it in the command line.

I write it in the command line and then hit the enter key.

does it happen with every file?

I cannot be sure NanoCAD Team. I will try it with some other files and get back to you.
