sparkyuk Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Hello everyone i have been learning how to make these attached blocks rotate This they do fine but what i can't do it is to get the text to rotate with the switches sockets etc, What i need them to do is both turn and still be upright to read the text correctly, is is something that can be done and if so how please ? samples.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Hughes Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 This will take you into a whole new area of exploration but... you want to create your block using attributes in place of text. Once you have your blocks inserted into the working drawing you can individually rotate and position the text value with the ATTEDIT command.

lpseifert Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 If you're rotating the blocks using the dynamic block rotation parameter, when you're done rotating you can grip edit the text to move it where you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nocturne00 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Go to block editor, edit the properties of the attributes, under misc>lock position>yes exit block editor then use attsync on the block to update it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
