Rotating multiple objects in place
CDM-ARCH posted a topic in AutoCAD 2D Drafting, Object Properties & Interface
I have multiple abbreviations in drawings such as "FA" for first aid and need to have them all oriented in a different direction. Is there a way to select all of them and have them rotate in place or do I need to do each one individually? -
This mtext won't rotate. When I use the rotate command, the text moves around a point, but stays right side up the whole time. I remember this happening with xrefs as well. Anyone know what's happening here?

LISP to rotate group of Multileaders about end of leader
Edgtrimmer posted a topic in AutoLISP, Visual LISP & DCL
Had to rotate a floorplan 180 along with all multileaders and text. I can easily select multileaders and change angle to 0 in Properties but text ends up on top of leader or in wrong position relative to leader. It would be great to have a command able to select a group of multileaders and step th...- 6 replies

Rotating Text around base point based on azimuth of 3D polyline
cartographer posted a topic in AutoLISP, Visual LISP & DCL
Hi guys & gals, I came across a very repetitive problem. While working with a certain type of software data is output to *.dxf as set of 3D polylines and text. From the level of software I work with, I cannot configure any text formatting details. Hence an idea to ask You few questions.... -
Hello everyone. I am working with a code to copy object (s) and paste with rotation using the same base point as the axis of rotation. What I can't do is create a while cycle to be able to make multiple copies and rotate. I could only do it once. If someone helps me a little I would...

Hello all, I would like to know if anybody has any bright ideas about a problem I face when drawing building elevations in 3D. I use 3D polylines to survey a facade on site. When back in the office I get an output of a 3D polyline with a point and node at each surveyed point. The point is alig...

Rotated Viewport now My Text is No Longer "E" with the viewport
MillerMG posted a topic in AutoCAD Drawing Management & Output
Used to use servCAD that had a tool that rotated text to "E" no matter how the viewport was rotated. Say the viewport is rotated where W is straight up. The text would need to have a rotation of "N" for it to be horizontal across the page in model space. Now that I have Civil 3D 2015 I do not see a... -
