Align text to a line


Recommended Posts

Is there a command or a LISP (I have checked out LEE's but to no avail from what I found) that I can run say that will allow me to select text and then select a line and it be parallel with it? I know the command TEXT ALIGN but this doens't do what I am looking for, that, or I just don't know how to properly run the command? Any who, as always, thank you for any and all input.

Of course, if you do not want to use lisp, you can use the command Rotate.

 

With Polar tracking on and set to Relative to last segment, you start the command Rotate, pick the text, and using Osnap (Nearest will do nicely) click on your chosen line. The text immediately swings to parallel the line (or perpendicular to the line, or at any angle set up in Polar Tracking). Very quick.
