Straightening Skewed Annotation and Blocks
It's not immediately obvious, but the best way to ‘straighten’ an object is to use the Properties window. This usually comes in handy for Text objects, Blocks, Raster Images; things that have a singular Rotation value that can be edited.
A-B-C Solution
Click on the object.
Open the Properties window.
Enter the desired Rotation value.

Donate to CADTutor
If you found this article useful, you might like to consider making a donation. All content on this site is provided free of charge and we hope to keep it that way. However, running a site like CADTutor does cost money and you can help to improve the service and to guarantee its future by donating a small amount. We guess that you probably wouldn't miss $5.00 but it would make all the difference to us.
Note from Michael: I want to thank all of my customers for continuing to retain my training services (some for over two decades!) and let you know your donations do not go to me personally, but to the ongoing maintenance of the CADTutor ship as a whole and to support the yeoman efforts of my friend and CADTutor captain, David Watson, to whom I am grateful for this monthly opportunity to share a few AutoCAD insights.
