Rotating sketch text in Solidworks
Rotating sketch text in Solidworks
(OP)
I have just been asked by a colleage about this and have never been able to to it myself.
We have a sketch open with Text in it. We would like to rotate all of the text through 90°. When you create the text there is an option to rotate the text but this just seems to rotate each character throught an angle. We have also tried the rotate sketch command but this didn,t seem to work either.
Does anyone know how to do this?
We are using SW2008 sp3.1

The "curve" can also be a separate sketch.

Its not what I expected and a little inconsistent with the way that other sketch entities work. However it works well and that is good enough for me. Just moved to 2008 and Im going through the joys of finding new stuff and the pain of nothing being where it was last week!

Go to: Tools/Sketch Tools/Modify.
Right-click to rotate, or type in number for rotation and hit 'Enter' button on keyboard.
