I have created a 2D object with an editable text box. How can I edit the object so the text will be readable when it gets rotated?

You could pull SYMB_ROTANGLE and use that to counter the object rotation or use n = REQUEST ("view_rotangle", "", angleViewRotation) to counter the View rotation.
If it is aLabel you can use AC_bLabelAlwaysReadable.
Have a browse through theGDL Reference Guide , it is all there.

I'm new to this so still trying to wrap my head around GDLs.
Been trying to read up on it but still no idea where to enter the “View_Rotangle” request

The article that DGSketcher linked shows you how to set it out. Just replace the TEXT2 with what ever text and shapes you are wanting to rotate.

You only need to worry about “View_Rotangle” if you want to counter-act the rotation of the screen in Archicad.
If not, don't worry about it.
If you just want to counter-act the rotation of the object, then use -SYMB_ROTANGLE in your TEXTBLOCK command - for the 'angle' value in the TEXTBLOCK command.
