Rotating Text


Labels can be rotated so that the text is drawn vertically top to bottom or bottom to top.

To rotate a label

  1. Select one or more labels.
  2. Press the toolbar button that represents the way that you want the text rotated.  The text rotation toolbar buttons show "ABC" at different angles.
  3. OR, choose one of the commands in the Rotate submenu of the Labels menu.
  4. OR, right click and choose a command from the Rotate submenu.
When a label is rotated, you cannot edit the text by clicking on it while in text mode.  Instead, use the Edit Text command to edit the text through the figure's property dialog box.
