Afternoon/Morning,

Hope someone can help, I'm after a lisp or the coding for a linetype that always ensures the text within is Legible/Orthogonal as opposed to being rotated depending on the direction in which the line is drawn.

I would normally try to sort this out, but am a splash busy at the moment,

Many Thanks.

Hi RRG,

I have written a LISP program that will draw a polyline (you can specify the linewidth) and it allows you to add any text that you want. It also will space the words at any space that you tell it. It then adds the text and breaks the polyline at the correct spacing. If you are interested, send me an e-mail at paul_bilodeau1@excite.com and I'll try to find it and send it to you.

Hope this helps,
Paul
