rotate text in sketch
(OP)
I know the use of text in sketch has been discussed a lot and there are even some FAQs on this issue. Still I have a question. I am trying to show a scale on a cylinder. It starts with 20. I create a plan tangent to the cylinder at the location of my "20". I create a sketch, select text feature, type 20 and the preview shows me the text rotated 270 degrees from what I want. I select the rotation tool with 270 degrees and now my text is right orientation but the 0 is on top of the 2. That's not what I want or expected. How can I do what I described above?






RE: rotate text in sketch
I would suggest you draw a construction line to base your text off of. Should solve most if not all of your problem because there are other features within the sketch text function to allow you to get your words facing the right way.
