Using horizontal constrants for group of text

Anonymous — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 15:10:00 GMT

Hello,

Can anyone please help with how to use the horz constraints for multiple lines of text? I can change one line at a time but more time consuming! see my annotation in attachment {1037} I have a ton of these on my dwgs and the all need to be level w/ the current UCS.

-Or another way to do so..

Thanks

Hi,

How about changing the rotation of text to "0" from properties and then align it with ALIGN TEXT lisp. Does this help?

One way ive done in the past is With Ortho on, select the original text group and cut, undo and past as a block. r-click rotate on the blocked text, click on the cable (blue line) r-click referance and a green triagnle to a square on the blue line will cause the blocked text to go horz. see pic. I was just looking at a quicker way to do this.

Thanks

Ok, I figured this on out. If I create a text block then select the Horz constraints and select the top text and it moves all.
