Change Text Rotation via Macro

[SeaRR85]

I'm using autocad LT 2007 and I need to change the rotation angle of a lot of text. Some text have a rotation of 90 and some have 180. All the text is 180 degrees out of phase. I need to subtract 180 degrees from every individual text. I'm trying to find out what the easiest way besides going one by one because there is over 400 different text entities. I'm open for suggestions using Macros or anything else. Thanks!

if you select all the text in one orientation, you can change it's orientation in properties

 

If you have access to full AutoCAD somewhere you could use a lisp to do it wholesale

Thanks for the quick reply. My issue is that I have different rotation angles in the same area and the only way I would be able to select the text that is just 180 or just 90 I would have to go one by one. If there is a way I could filter out the 180 text or 90 text selection then I might be golden.

ooooo - you may be able to mirror it all in properties, then select it to be 'backwards'

 

does that work?

 

sorry, I don't have AutoCAD on this machine to check

That did it! Genius! When I select the text I can still play around with the "Misc" property box in the properties menu. Sweet. Thanks!

Another issue though...I need the text to be "searchable" when I make my drawing a PDF. Since I played around with the Misc properties, I had to make the "Upside Down" box yes and the "Backward" box yes which is not recognized when searched for in a PDF. Back to square one.

Figured it out using the Quick Select option. I filtered out the 90 and 180 text and changed it. Worked. Done.
