Vertical Text in Draft 1

[nastynotion]

Hi everyone.

I tried searching a bit around, but without any luck so far.

I want to add text to one of my drafts that is orientated vertically, in other words that the text is rotated 90 degrees from standard orientation. I've tried this with Text Box but I am unable to figure out how to do it. It's probably a very simple solution that I am completely overlooking, but I would really appreciate if some of you would have some insight. In text box properties I've tried to change the 'text orientation' parameter but this only gives orients the text vertically, it doesnt rotate the letters aswell. Please see the picture I've linked to understand what I mean. I basically want to rotate the text saying 'BLEED 1' 90 degrees.

I'm running Solid Edge ST7.

Look forward to hear from you all, best regards.

Edit: I am able to orient the text like I want with a callout, but if there is a way of doing it with a text box it would be preferable.

I generally prefer call outs to text boxes but...

My work around is just to hit 'return' after each letter - probably not what you're looking for.

If it's possible I think it could only be with a special font which spaces in that way. Good luck finding that and then making it work.

Do you mean like this?

If this is what you were wanting, on the text box, right-click-> Properties and set the Angle to 90 or 270 degrees:
