Text Tool Rotation

Zdenko
Advocate

is there a way to select 2 points in order to place text at an angle while using the "text tool". or do i need to place the text then rotate? hope the latter is not the solution.

AFAIK there is no option though you could rotate the view prior to placing if there are more than one since Text will stay horizontal to the monitor.

Or if you know the angle you can just set the angle setting before you place it.

The angle is also syringe-able, by the way.

Or just set it before hand, like Barry suggests.
