Hey guys, I was trying to rotate the text in the label by 180 degree. When I changed the rotation angle of the label from 0 to 180, the label just changed its location and the direction of the text didn't change at all. Anybody knows how to do it? Many many thanks.

I am looking to rotate multiple text entities about their own individual insertion points to an orientation legible in plan view. This is not a simple matter of changing the angle of rotation as this rotates about the wrong axis (and of course multiple items)! Through experimenting with dxf codes I have established that if codes 210,220 and 230 are set to 0,0,1 then this does achieve the desired result. i.e. (210 0.0) (220 0.0) (230 1.0) The reason I am doing this is to format text output from another drawing package. I have found and am trying to modify the attached Lee Mac "change colour" lisp to achieve the result highlighted above and would be greatful for any help from the collective on this. Note that I alighted on this code as it adds the desired entities if they do not originally exist. Thanks in advance for any help \ pointers Chris (defun c:doit (/ i ss ent eLst) (if (setq i -1 ss (ssget "_:L")) (while (setq ent (ssname ss (setq i (1+ i)))) (setq eLst (entget ent)) (setq eLst (subst '(8 . "0") (assoc 8 eLst) eLst)) (entmod (if (assoc 62 eLst) (subst '(62 . 3) (assoc 62 eLst) eLst) (append eLst '((62 . 3))))))) (princ))
