Rotate to current UCS |
|
|
Is there a short way to rotate objects, mainly text, to the current UCS? I've been selecting the text, and entering a "0" value at the rotation cell in the properties dbox. This process is a little too long for me. I would prefer something at the command prompt rather than directing my pointer, then entering values. Painter is nice, but many times I have texts at different justifications. Thanks for any suggestions.

Not really what I was looking for. Jay's lsp takes multiple pieces of text, holds their insertion poiints, and rotates to the current ucs without having to pick reference points. Select and enter...quick and easy...

By all means use the lisp. I just wanted to mention that you can change the
rotation of multiple text entities in the properties box. You don't have to
change them 1 by 1.

this may be LDT only command not sure. I don't have plane jane AutoCAD to check if this command works. I didn't think about this before posting (sorry)

The below description is from the ldt 3 help file.
Aligns text, mtext and block attribute objects to new orientation
Rotates text, mtext, and attribute definition objects so that they end up being as close as possible to horizontal or right-read (similar to the behavior of dimension text). Objects are rotated about their middle point in 180-degree increments. For example, if the text is upside-down, it becomes right-side up after a TORIENT operation. Similarly, left-read text becomes right-read text. The overall object location is not changed. As an option, you can specify a new absolute orientation angle for all selected text objects. |

Cool...I use ADT, and tried the "torient" command. That does work nicely. Just wish that worked for assoc dims.
However, that lsp routine better suits my needs...no reference points to pick...and my ucs is always changing anyway. |

I know you now have and like Jay's "sqtext.lsp", but am just addressing your concern re: justification;
With regards to text, PAINT will do EVERYTHING [EXCEPT] MATCH JUSTIFICATIONS. Whenever justification is your concern, paint away. |

You do realize that you can do this for multiple text selections at one time, right? Select 'em all, hit ctrl+1, change 'em all to 0. |

OC,
I can't make ctrl+1 do squat here. So what else do I need to do? I'm attempting it 2002 without any luck. over |

| CTRL+1 should pop the properties dialog box, then just change the rotation angle there once for all the selection set. |
