rotating all text simultaneously?

[dedken]

Hi guys,

 

I wondered whether anyone might have a lisp that will enable me to select all text and rotate it to World UCS (or other specified UCS)??

 

Cheers in advance...

It must be a Lisp? You can select all the texts and set they rotation angle from within the Properties window.

Thanks for the reply,

 

Sorry I didn't specify clearly enough; What I'm looking for is to take multiple text samples which are not currently orientated in the same directions as each other and place them all in the same orientation.... to tidy up or so to speak...

 

When I select all the text most of the Properties in the window disappear, so I'm unable to specify a rotation angle.

But the Rotation window is blank because the selected text are at various angles. If you select Rotation and enter 0, all the text will go to that rotation.

Ok I see what you mean. But it only works sometimes; other times I select all the text and the entire properties box with the variables in it disappears so I don't even get the option to change any of the properties. It's probably just me being dumb though!

cmd: _.QSELECT

 

Apply to: choose

Object type: Choose Text or mtext

propperties: ROTATION

Operation: equals or other prefered

value: example 90°

 

ENTER OK

 

now you can change all the text that are 90° rotated to any rotation you want in the properties. without changing texts that are not 90° rotated

Cheers, it was a combination of me being dumb and CAD not being totally intuitive!
