Rotate attributes in 2009 LT.

Hello everybody,

I have the same problem as many other people when i rotate a block with a attribute in it. The text is rotating also and i want to have it horizontal.

I found many solutionson on the inet, but they always use LISP but i use autocad 2009 LT so i can't use LISP.

I already made a macro that rotate a attribute one at a time but i need to rotate thousands, so i want a macro that rotates al the attributes in the whole drawing.

This is that macro that i use know:

*^C^C_-attedit;_y;;;;\;A;0;^C

Can anybody help me? or is it impossible with only a macro?

Already thanks.

Thanks for the fast reaction.

Just don't select the attribute when you do the rotation parameter

If i select a block, automaticly the attribute is selected to. Can you tell me how you do that?

And i insert the block's from the toolpalettes, so i don't have a option to do it on a other way.

I also want to use it in existing drawings.

I have found two options. One is a lisp I have which will rotate all attributes with the same name to any angle. Or create your attribute with annotative text. Select match drawing orientation. Not sure if this is available in LT. Check my post " dynamic block bizaryness" an example. But I'm in the same boat as you!

Thanks for the fast reaction.

The problem is, is that al the blocks we are using are made by a other company. And it's a lot of work to change al the blocks. And for so far i know there is no easy way to change existing attributes in LT like in the full version.

So i thougt it would be easyer to run a macro after inserting al the blocks. But i start to think that is impossible in LT.
