How do i rotate labels

[gomirage]

Hello everyone,
I am using land desktop. I had to twist the view horizontally. It works well. However, the labels didn't twist with the parcels. Does anyone knows how to rotate the labels generated with the parcels ?

Hi gomirage,

I don't know LDD. Can You explain "labels" and "parcels"? That's not Acad-vocabulary, or?

Can you select the "label" and then type in LIST, and see what the object is. It may help us figure a way for you.

isolate labels and parcel text

express -> text -> rotate text

select text

then experiment with the rotation options.

this will "swivel" text about their mid point.

hope this helps

Below is what i have after typing list
MTEXT Layer: "TEXT"
Space: Model space
Handle = 15CD4
Location: X=445442.66 Y=444405.53 Z= 0.00
Width: 0.00
Normal: X= 0.00 Y= 0.00 Z= 1.00
Rotation: 354d14'32"
Text style: "SIMPLEX"
Text height: 0.80
Line spacing: Multiple (1.000000x = 1.33)

From what it shows, you should be able to double-click on the label and then set a rotation property. Is that available to you?

I can rotate them, but the thing is i have 145 parcels with 4 sides of labels each. It will take me lots headaches to do it manually. Also the labels of my bearings won'tbe accurate

So you've got multiple pieces of text with 4 different (all off by X degrees) rotations?

It's not optimal, but you could use the 'qselect' command to filter out the text which you don't want set to a certain orientation.

It would be made easier if you are free to set up 4 layers, one for each text orientation.

Do a qselect and filter by layer to select the ones which need to be 0, then switch them to zero with the properties menu. Repeat for the other layers.

Hope that helps,

Dave

Guys as previously recommended Express tools is doing it.
Express / text / Rotate text.
But the tip is to NOT enter any value in "New absolute angle". Just enter after "Choose most readable value.

I appreciate and thank you all.
