After Cell insertion - dimensions flip??

I am using vJ and am curious why the dimensions within my cell are
flipped after the cell is placed. I know about the keyin- mdl load
calculat;calc tcb->ad4.ext_dimflg.viewRotation=1 and I invoked that
before the dimenions were placed prior to cell creation. Is there
something I am missing- like to do I also have to invoke the keyin in
the file that I am placing the cells.

in additon after I type this in the keyin

calc tcb->ad4,ext_dimflg.viewRotation=1

I get this error

"Calculator: symbol "ext_dimflg" not defined

 

The comma after ad4 should be a period.
i.e.
calc tcb->ad4.ext_dimflg.viewRotation=1

Dan,
The period.comma was a posting error.

Let me restate my problem:

After invoking the correct "calc" command prior to dimension placement
this is what happens...

If I reference the file the dimensions work properly no matter the
rotation.

But if the elements in the base file are used to create a cell. Once
the cell is placed the dimensions flip. Almost like the 'calc'
command has no effect on cell creation/placement.

Redbyrd,

I'm see the same thing here on MSJ 07.01.04.16. When I,m dragging the
cell around in dynamics it looks fine. As soon as a place it with a data
point the dimensions flip. calc tcb->ad4.ext_dimflg.viewRotation=1 has
no effect.
