Give text a rotation angle in properties

[markus.hiermer]

Idea: Texts shall have an angle of their rotation in the properties palette, hence we could change the rotation of multiple texts in one go (choose all texts and change the angle in the properties palette). Furthermore this property would be very handy if the text needs to be rotated by eg. 2° (as the snap would hold it back at zero until approximately 5°).

Profit: Beeing able to rotate multiple Texts around their centre (or perhaps basepoint if it would be available) in a very short time.

In the meantime as a possible alternative, i suggest trying the add-in "Match rotation". you can for example rotate one text to 2° then match the rest to that one.

say, you have a bunch of plain text (text notes) and you want/need to rotate all of them but there is nothing to do it.  Wish there is a way to rotate ALL the text (text notes) either by 'rotate counterclock wise' or 'clock wise' based on their each of their center points.

So basically you want the angle parameter that tags have. That would be nice.

Or an option in the rotate tool to rotate object by their origin point, central point, etc... That would also be great because it could be used to other objects like furniture (chairs, tables, etc), plumbing fixtures, etc.

If you go both ways, make sure that using the rotate tool in text annotations actually changes that Angle value and not rotates the object... so that info still makes sense everywhere, ok...

Not saying this shouldn't be a native feature (I agree with @Mike.FORM that it should be similar to tags) but you can do this with Dynamo relatively simply now. It'd be a good introduction to the program if you haven't used it before.
