AboutScott Cook Expertise I`ve been using AutoCAD since 1987 and programming AutoLISP nearly as long. I can answer questions about programming AutoCAD (except ARX) and production enhancement techniques. I cannot answer questions about AutoCAD crashes or DWG corruption. AutoCAD PROGRAMMING (menus, lisp) related questions only!

Question Hi, I am doing a string of dimensions up an elevation and I want to rotate the text to read horizontally, not at 90 degrees to page. I've tried using the rotate text in the properties tab but it does nothing. This should (and hopefully is ) an easy thing to accomplish.
Thanks a lot,

Answer LIST the dimensions, figure out what style they are.
type DDIM and modify the style for those dimensions, look for something called 'Horizontal Alignment'. Save the changes to the dimension style.
Then type DIM UPD and pick the ones you want to update to have the newly-modified style.
