lmurphy Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Does anyone have a solution to the following. I have a 3D survey of a tunnell. I want to reuse all the annotations from the plan view in sections and elevations Is there a way to flip/rotate text/mtext around its x axis while maintaining it's insertion point? 2007 vinilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpseifert Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Select the text you want to rotate and in Properties you can enter a new rotation. Note that this isn't relative to the existing rotation, but to the coordinate system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmurphy Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 I don't think I made my self quite clear. See the drawing I've attached - 2 vports The one on the left shows the info in plan. created in WCS The one on the right shows how I'd Like to display the info - in a UCS How can I make the text readable in the section view / UCS Frame5to4.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpseifert Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Here's a way to do it, kinda cumbersome... In your left VP, rotate the ucs around the Y-axis 90 degrees; select the text to highlight the grips. Grab a grip, R (for rotate), 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmurphy Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Ipsefert, cheers! I'd got that far but I've got 100ish of these to give to one of our tech's, and I was hoping to hand him a couple'o'clicks solution. I can't have him rotating text for 2 days Do you know of a lisp that will rotate multiple items from their insertion points? I thought I had this, but I've moved companies and lost some of my old routines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpseifert Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I don't know if this will work for you but, If you select all the text you want to rotate (to highlight their grips) and pick a grip, you can rotate them all at once around the picked grip.

lmurphy Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 No, that will only work for the group not the individual entity- or I'm not being given that option - maybe available after r2007? I'm hunting around for a multiple rotate by insertion point as a quick fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmuc Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Imurphy have you found a solution? I have exact same problem with the text rotation in 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmurphy Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 dmuc, I'm afraid not. I used a lisp to place text values in the new UCS, but only for a portion of the data. Quick solution but not what I wanted to do. If you come across a work around for this I'd love to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battumur Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Imurphy, I have same problem. I wrote small lisp routines. Basically I am selecting entire text entities and examine if this text entity is plan (flat) or vertical. If text is flat (plan) turn it vertical while maitaining insertion point. If text is vertical then flatten (plan) it. (entity code = 11 using entmod). 95% of the code is written. I need some help to figure out kinks.
