    Rotate Sketch Text

    I know that I've done this before but for the life of me, I can't get it
    to work now. I'm trying to emboss some text on a part and need to
    rotate the text. The embossing works fine, just not the rotating. No
    matter where or how I RMB, I can't seem to find the option to "Rotate
    ---" anywhere. What simple thing am I missing?

    Thanks,
    Doug

    Think you'll probably need to use an angle dim between the text box and a
    construction line if I remember correctly.

    Hey Dog on a side note, might want to check your computer's clock. Seems a
    bit in the future...

    Thanks Larry, that sure isn't what 'Help' said (or what I thought I had to
    do last time).  It wasn't pretty, but I managed to walk the test around through
    two quadrants, a chunk at a time.

    Just went to see what I had done before. I made
    the text;

    RMB mark adaptive;

    made const line Horiz and angle;

    made text box line collinear to
    angle.

    Will rotate around 360° according to
    the angle.

    Don't remember looking at help on that subject,
    maybe I should. <G>

    Why not just using the rotate tool?

    And what is the need of making it
    adaptiv?

    Or do I understand something wrong?

    Nothing wrong with using the rotate tool, I don't
    guess, but a construction line simulates the rotate and
    move tools in one shot by using angle and linear dims. I don't know why
    adaptive, exactly; I couldn't get the collinear/coincident constraints to work
    (over constrained errors) until I made it temporarily adaptive. After placing
    the dims, I turned it back off and it still worked okay. Don't use it much, so
    I'm not really all that up on it.

    Sean,



    It must be a combination of my ISP, CST and Netscape 7.  I'm on time here
    as far as I can tell... I thought it was you guys.
