move, align and rotate text to two selected points


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of a routine (perhaps a lisp) to move, rotate and align text with one swift command?

Something like this video below.

I cannot see the video you posted, but in many cases (when text entity is drawn at a tracking angle or parallel with an entity having more than one points recognized by Osnap) you can resort to the built-in ALIGN command.

If you haven't been to Lee Mac's site before then you should check it out.

It is but one of many lisps Lee has created for text.

 

Thanks Lee! :beer:

Been testing this one along with the dynamic one that he has made and maybe I am not figuring out the process to use to make it do what I want but so far not having any luck.

That's weird...I can still see it on multiple computers.

The align command does not offer a way to center it on two selected points. It will indeed move, rotate and align the text but it falls a little short on options.

So that brings another question out. Is there a alias or shortcut command for the midpoint between two points when the command has already been invoked?

Would the text already exist in the drawing or do you want to know how to rotate and center while adding text? As mentioned earlier the routines from leemac would be your best bet.
