CAD Forum - Block with a permanently horizontal attribute. As an example of such dynamic label block you can try the DWG block Mark1 from the Block Library As you can see on the demo, this block keep its attribute (text) position both when rotated using its dynamic properties and when rotated using the standard ROTATE command: An annotative attribute is used, in a viewport-aligned style
CAD Forum - How to make rotated texts and block attributes readable? If you rotate drawing texts and blocks with text attributes, some of the texts may stay in an 'unreadable' position (upside-down, upside-right) The Express Tool TORIENT (Express > Text > Rotate text) can automatically align such texts (or attributes) to be readable Just select the objects and confirm the default "Most readable" option

CAD Forum - Rotated profile view in AutoCAD Civil 3D AutoCAD Civil 3D does not allow to rotate the automatic profile view (graph of the terrain profile) - i e the AECC_PROFILE_VIEW object If you want to display your profile view aligned (rotated), use a separate viewport in a layout (paperspace) and rotate its contents - e g with the ALIGNSPACE command or by other ways described in the tip
CAD Forum - Text aligned along a line. A You have several options when you want to draw texts aligned (rotated) in a direction of existing lines (polylines, arcs, curves - e g utility lines, electric conductors, parcels, street network, etc ) in your AutoCAD drawings: Trivial - manually rotate (ROTATE) text by entering the rotation angle by picking two points on a line
CAD Forum - How to find the rotation angle of a layout viewport? CAD Forum - How to find the rotation angle of a layout viewport?The angle of the current rotation of a viewport contents - e g from the command MVSETUP > Align viewports > Rotate view - is stored in the VIEWTWIST variable (you must be in the modelspace of the respective viewport) You can also find the rotation with the VIEW command - Current view angle values
CAD Forum - My drawing text is upside-down. Why? Text in a block or xref which is inserted as "rotated" If the text is a dimension text, the dimtext USS may get improperly transferred from a foreign CAD application, or the Text rotation (orientation) parameter is set (see the dim Properties, Ctrl+1)
Rotated UCS when stretching objects with grip-editing. - CAD Forum CAD Forum - Rotated UCS when stretching objects with grip-editing In some drawings, stretching lines using grip-edit in a plain 2D drawing can result to displaying a rotated UCS at the give node (grip) and any attempt to stretch gives unexpected results when using e g the ortho mode (F8) - see: This is caused by improper setting of the object plane defined by its extrusion vector (normal, DXF
