Benson Shaw Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I searched on-screen help, Print and here, but found no topic, so ... The short question is: How do you make text turn upside down? Rotate a text block past 90? and it flips. I have some viewports in landscape orientation on a sheet in LS orientation - the wide "bottom" print margin is on righthand side of the sheet. I need to invert the VPs for binding. If I rotate the VP 180?, say using "cmd L" twice, or with the rotate selection tool or with the flip horiz command, the annotation text flips back. Alternately,I could leave the VP in place, change the print orientation of the sheet to the opposing Landscape orientation (wider "bottom" print margin moves to lefthand side of sheet), rotate the homemade title block 180, and move it to the other side of the sheet. Unfortunately, the title block is a rectangle grouped with some text blocks. The text flips as soon as it is rotated past 90?. Or I could put the sheet in portrait orientation mode and try to put the title block upside down at the top of the page, but same problem. It should be simple. Did I miss something really basic? -B Quote Link to comment
Travis Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Benson, In VW Preferences, Display tab, uncheck Adjust Flipped Text. Now it will stay oriented however you put it. Good luck, Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 Duh! - So simple. Of course I forgot to look in prefs. I just tested and the great thing is that checking and unchecking the box after a rotation does not reflip the upside down text. Thanks, Travis!! -B Quote Link to comment
wezelboy Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 If you like to have Adjust Flipped Text on in general but want to have an individual text block rotated, you can manually enter the rotation in the object info pallette and that value will override the automatic adjustment. -P Quote Link to comment
