Dynamic block - text / rotation

Hi there,

 

I am creating a block for the grid line. The idea would be that it would rotate as needed but the text - grid line number would always be horizontal.

I know how to create this scenario by adding a rotation option for each text, which is time-consuming to change every time.

What I am wondering is the following:

Is it possible to add a property to that specific text to always be horizontal? Even when the block is rotating?

Please say yes ๐Ÿ˜

 

I hope I was clear.

Both ringed items need to be ticked

Thanks for the suggestion. 

It seemed like a straightforward solution.

For some reason, it is not working 

Please see the block attached -  if you could please point out why it is not working I would really appreciate it.

I couldn't get it working today. I have got it working before, but I've got a better solution. Remove the two "letter" attributes from all the actions. Add a point move to both of them. Add the "main letter" point move to the rotate action. Add the "field" point move to the stretch and rotate actions. Set both attributes lock position to yes and change the Chain Actions property of both point moves to yes. See the attached drawing.
