Rotating Text For Extruding
Rotating Text For Extruding
(OP)
I am pretty new to using SolidWorks (2007), and am having a problem with being able to rotate text for extruding (or cutting) on a surface. I am able to locate the text as well as extrude it, but I can not rotate it as a whole.
I have tried using the "rotate" button in the Property Manager window in the Sketch Mode, but when I select the angle that I need (ex in this case: <r270>NEG</r> ) it rotates each individual letter placing them from Top to Bottom, when what I need is for them to all be rotated together.
Is there something in the text string that is causing this?
I was able to create a text sketch for each individual letter, but I want to beable to edit them latter, and am looking for a one shot solution.
Any ideas out there?

I was able to do it using "tools/sketch(tools)/modify/type rotation/enter"
I am sure this will be the first of many posts...in fact I am starting another one now.
Thanks again,
