How simple cant it be? Frustrations ongoing.
Opening a sketch, I type a word, e.g. FRONT.
As per manual, after placing text I highlight the text 'FRONT' to rotate it, default is 30°.
now each letter rotates, not what I want, I want to rotate the complete word.
Now I got several text indications that need to be readeable from the outside of a cylindrical plate at 60°.
So I need the copy around a center point. The text is U1, U2, U3 up to U6.
Each text need to be at a 60° rotated angle.
I created these texts in one sketch, then edit the text to rotate, same problem, the U and the number rotate individual.
I tried finding help in manuals, Internet, it seems simply impossible to do this task within a minute or less.
Why can't I simply rotate a text in SolidWorks without having to read manuals and do internet searches, still finding no answers.
Anybody, please?
I rarely use text in a sketch, or the rotate command, but to get what you want I think you will need to place a construction line in your sketch first, then place the text on this line. Or at least I believe that's one way to do it. Someone else may, and probably will, have a better idea, but it's worth a shot.
