                I'm doing some mould work and need to engrave some text on the workpiece, this means I need to mirror it so it can be read properly. I can do all this ok, but saving and subsequently reloading as a DXF file reverts the text back to reading in the normal way. Anyone know of a way around this please? Cheers, Martin.

                Hi Jason. I converted it to polygons and it worked a treat,:) so thanks very much for your help, you've saved me a lot of wasted time. Cheers, Martin.
