CSTAM Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 Does anyone know of a Lisp or function that can rotate text without a basepoint? I have text perpendicular to a designed road and I want to add (or minus) 90 degrees to make it parallel. I need something that can basically add 90 to the all selected texts "rotation" property. My problem in visual format below. The blue is desired. Quote
dbroada Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 in standard AutoCAD I would use the properties palette. Is taht an option here? Quote
CSTAM Posted September 6, 2010 Author Posted September 6, 2010 No, when i select all the text the value in the properties palette turn to "varies". Is there a way to put "varies"-90 degrees? Quote
ReMark Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 Was each piece of text put in with the text centered on the point it represents? If so, I'm pretty sure I've come across a lisp routine that could rotate each in turn. Just can't recall at the moment where that was. Quote
migs Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 The TORIENT command in the Express Tools can rotate the text by specific angles Quote
CSTAM Posted September 6, 2010 Author Posted September 6, 2010 @ migs- I tried your suggestion but it orientates all selected text in the same direction. This doesnt appear to be any different than typing a value in the properties palette, unless i'm doing something wrong :S @ ReMark- The text is not centrered on the point it represents but if you could find this LISP I could still give it a go.

migs Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 CSTAM is it possible you could use Lee Macs LISP, could do what your looking for if i have picked you up properly http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?42284-Some-of-My-Recent-Projects.... Quote
eldon Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 There was also a thread (again written by Lee Mac) to flip multiple texts by 180°. Perhaps you could alter it to flip your text by 90° Quote
CSTAM Posted September 6, 2010 Author Posted September 6, 2010 THAT'S BRILLIANT!! Thanks for your Help! The TXALIGN is exactly what I want, even better actually! Quote
