short version: I need to change several existing dimesion's text rotation.
Rotate doesn't work and match prop to a "good" dim doesn't work either.


long version: I have had to rotate (the twist angle of) a viewport I'm working with by 180 degrees... oops :oops: my mistake. Problem is I can't seem to get my existing dimension's text to rotate (or matchprop rotation) to the same angle as the view port. This used to be fairly easy to do in R14, but I can't seem to figure it out in 2005. Anybody know what to do?

Thanks for that YosSa... :P :lol:

If anyone cares there's a text rotation value in Modify Properties. It can be a little confusing because a dimension's 0 rotation is based off of its original rotation.

VCD: That's relative angle as opposed to absolute. Tough to do if you didn't make a mental note of where you started.... :cry:

Ain't it so about that YosSa? Always good for a yuk! :roll:
