Hello Michael,

     I'm having an annoying problem with Xcircuit 3.6 which
I can't seem to work around.  If I select text justification
other than "left" (eg: center, right) I'm unable to ever get
it set back to "left" neither as a default nor can change a
given text item back to left justification.

Is this a known issue and if so does a workaround exist?
I haven't experimented using a later Xcircuit version as that
isn't an option for the work at hand.

I remember that problem from years ago (version 3.6 was retired
in April 2011).  I don't think there was a workaround within xcircuit,
but you can always hand-edit the file.  Find the text that you're
trying to fix, and change the justification, as described below.

The definitions are 0=LEFT 1=CENTER 2=RIGHT, a bitfield occupying
the first 2 bits in the 4th value before "label" in the output.
So in analog2.ps, for example,

   (+) {/Symbol 1.000 cf} 2 5 0 0 18 label

The justification value is 5, the first two bits = 1, so it's
centered.
                                        ---Tim
