stopandgo Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Issue: I'd like to rotate a number of text objects--about 300 or so--each around its own center (i.e., not all of them about a single reference point). Is this possible to do in one swift motion without having to individually go through the drawing and rotate each object individually? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

StevenMc Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Lee Mac has created a LISP routine that allows you to do it. Check out his signature i think he may have it there, Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjt Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I was about to post my rotate command (exactly what you would want), but I noticed the LT. Best thing would be to figure out the angle, select everything and change the rotation from the Properties menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stopandgo Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Got it. Thanks for the LISP routine suggestion, StevenMc....my CAD version is prehistoric so I actually went with Alanjt's idea and it worked perfectly. I selected the objects, changed the Rotation angle under the properties dialog (which apparently is relative to each object in the selected set), and boom it worked. Sometimes you overlook the simplest solutions, huh... Thx again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
