AutoCad 2D :: Rotating Parameter With Text
Jan 27, 2012
what i have is a section cut that my Mechanical guys use. What i am trying to do is create a dynamic block using the rotate parameter.
Currently i have two rotate parameters. One to rotate the section cut lines around one bit of text. The second parameter is to rotate another bit of text, but this is also selected in the first parameter.
It is almost working... with the exception that when i use the main rotate grip everything rotates around the text i want it to, but the second bit of text rotates 180° the opposite direction.
I have attached a copy of the file.

I am very new to dynamic blocks. I am starting off learning the small stuff before I get to the larger more complex blocks to convert to dynamic.
I have a reference block I am trying to "master" all the functions we would like to see.
I have two major concerns.
1) Why can't I rotate this block (via rotate action) and have the attributes stay at angle zero? I thought I built the parameters and actions correct.
2) I haven't ran across anything that explains how to stretch 2 linear parameters at the same time with the same distance (ex: stretch both at .25, .5, .75)

I know this is located in other locations but I can't seem to make it work with my block.
I would like the cross and the text N to rotate independantly of the arrow while the N stays with the thick line. That's the easy part. How can I make the N move along the rotation path and keep the text aligned horizontally? I read something about linked action and move, but I can't make it work.

I know I can rotate text with the rotate command or from the properties palette, but if I'm editing text and the text formatting toolbar is displayed, why don't I have the ability to modify the rotation right there? How do I get it there? Can I customize this toolbar?

Is it possible to have text that you can rotate in a MVB similar to a dynamic block?
I tried to create a dynamic block within a MVB but doesn't work.
this is connected to the other post about tagging a MVB

I'll start by saying that I'm using Civil 3D 2012...I've made a custom line type and am having issues with it. Basically, I'm trying to get the text (Green line with 4's) to flip around from it's current orientation, see attachment. I have already tried the REVERSE and MIRROR commands, with no success.

SO difficult to see the text change and determine if it is at the right angle when the original text is still there.
How can I only display the new "Rotating Text" without the "Original Position" text.

I am working on creating a dynamic block library and am having several problems with text within my blocks. For example... I am working on a North Arrow block and would like the text to rotate with my block, but I want the text to remain right-side up. When I rotate the arrow past 180 degrees the text is upsidedown.

Im using AC 2008 LT Im developing dynimc blocks. When rotating the block the text will rotate as well. Is there any way to align the text to the view so it will be always straight when rotating?

I'm using Civil 3d 2013. When i go to edit my text, it rotates, making it impossible to read or edit. How can I stop it from rotating. I am editing the text through a rotated (DVIEW) viewport. When I try to switch to mtexted ---> oldeditor, I get the message
"The text contains new formatting and cannot be edited by your current MText editor."

I have attached a basic PTZ block and what I want it to do is when I rotate the block past a certain point +/-90 degrees the text rotate within the rectangle so it's never upside down.
Can I get any direction on what route I need to take to get this done?

I would like to create a number wheel with the numbers at 90deg to the circle but I cannot find any way to achieve this and it seems like something that should be doable within the text to curves feature.
Here is an example of what i would like to achieve.

Gave a set of schematics to a client and they decided they wanted all the wire numbers rotating 90 degrees... In the interest of efficiency, any way I can rotate all the pieces of text at the same time whilst maintaining their individual position rather than selecting a base rotation point (as I have about 400 wire numbers to make my way through ).

I have been unable to rotate the header text in a parts list. I created a new text style that is rotated 90 deg, a new part list style that specifies to use that text style in the header. Everything else about the text in the header displays correctly (i.e. font, size, colour, etc) but not the rotation when I insert the parts list in a drawing using the correct standard. When I apply this same standard to a regular text line on the drawing it will rotate the 90 degs but not in the part list.

What I want this block to do is to keep the "REF. NORTH" text aligned and properly spaced whithin a single motion while rotating it with the thick line.

1. when I edit or create text in a particualr drawing, I can't keep the editor from rotating 90 degrees.
I've tried creating a new style and it does the same thing both in model space and in Paper Space.
2. in a new drawing, the editor jumps out of drawing area on right side of drawing space by default.

I have been capturing data for measured building surveys with a Leica total station (TS06). When I upload the data into autocad i can see the node points (+) and text in the top view. When switch to look at the points from the front view (to produce an elevation), the text and points appear as a flat line, although the insertion point of the node/text is still correct. I need to find a way of rotating the text and points so they are visible in this view. I will then flatten the points and cut them to the top view to produce a 2d elevation.
we had a toolbar with a button to perform this function. However, now i don't have the toolbar,

I am trying to find a lisp routine that would allow me to rotate single letter text around a central point but keep the text (letters) horizontal as I rotate the letters about that central point. Is there anything out there that could accomplish this.

I would like to globally rotate an attributes text to be horizontal. When a block containing and attribute is inserted at a rotated angle the attributes text is of course also rotated - The tag is called circuit so I tried this - need some lisp to alter the size of the text?

Pick your Blocks..")
(setq ss (ssget '((0 . "insert")))

Is there anyway to derive a text parameter? It's nice that 2011 gives you the ability to create text parameters but why don't they allow you to derive it to another part? What about deriving iProperties?

I have a model in imperial units with the parameter: Pin_Dia = 7mm.Now I'd like to use this parameter in a text field on a drawing, but its value will only display in inches.
(I don't know if it's called a field in Inventor, at least that's what the equivalent feature is called in AutoCAD.)I managed to fake it by creating a new parameter in inches: Pin_Dia_Metric = Pin_Dia * ( 1 ul / 1 mm ).
Now this shows up in the text dialog box as "7.0 ul." It still displays correctly, since the text field only shows the numerical value, but I really don't want to clutter up my Parameters list with a bunch of duplicated values for metric conversions.
Is there a way to change the units for just this one text field?-Using Autodesk Inventor Professional 2012

I have been diving into the world of iParts, iLogic and iLogic Forms and have found them to be very useful! However, I am shocked to see that Text Height is NOT a parameter. The parts I am creating have embossed text. The size of parts range significantly so the size in text must also change. In making a Form, I would like the Text height to change based on the part being created. (ie if the part thickness is 1.5", I would like the text height to be 1" (Text Height = 66% of Part Thickness). I was about to create a simple iLogic rule to accomplish this when I noticed that Text Height (from the sketch) is nowhere to be found.

Is there any way in which the text of a text parameter, which is in the equation column, can be replicated into the nominal value column in the parameters table? I want to reference the value of the parameter in Custom iProperties but it always comes up as blank because it has no value.
I need it to update automatically, e.g not entering the value manually.

Wondering if there was a way to have text maintain a rotation angle of 0 while being included in a rotation parameter. I am wanting the "N" for my North Arrow to follow the direction of the symbol of my viewport tag without the "N" character rotation angle changing with it.

I have user parameters that are no longer needed and are not being used anywhere. They each takes 4-5 seconds to delete, prior to 2012 this would happen instantly.

it is possible to use a user defined parameter to drive a action parameter.
I have several polar and linear stretch actions i would like to drive from one parameter.
