Rotate a Sketch Text on a Face in Assembly is not working

[liminma8458]

Hi,

I am creating a sketch Text on a face in assembly, using the methodology from Xiaodong Liang in the article http://adndevblog.typepad.com/manufacturing/2016/09/create-sketch-text-on-face-of-assembly.html. This code works fine.

The problem is that I want to add rotation to the text and this rotation code does not work. I put the following code at the end:

oSketchText.Style.Rotation = 1.57

It is not working. "oSketchText.Rotation = 1.57" neither.

Actually, similar code works fine for sketch in drawing mode as i tested

Anyone can help?

Thanks

Limin

Hi Limin,

There are 4 rotation option as below image and that should be defined in PI (3.14159265358979).

In VBA, 4 rotation can be achieved by following.

oSketchText.Rotation = 0 - 0 degrees

oSketchText.Rotation = 2 * Math.Atn(1) - 90 degrees

oSketchText.Rotation = 4 * Math.Atn(1) - 180 degrees

oSketchText.Rotation = 6 * Math.Atn(1) - 270 degrees

Please feel free to contact if there is any doubt.

Hi, CHANDRA,

This solves my problem. Looks like it only accepts exact PI or PI equivalent expression, but not short digit number.

Thank you very much
