      Hi There, I’m getting familiar with GDL. I still need to learn a lot but I can make simple objects and understand a bit of the syntax.
      but I got stuck here. can somebody help me?
      I am trying to make a 2d object.

      You want the Richtext to follow a hotspot? Make two overlapping Editable Hotspots, one for the x-axis and one for the y-axis, then set those two values as your x-y values in your Richtext command.

      HOTSPOT2 0, 0, unID, text-x, 1 : unID = unID + 1
      HOTSPOT2 1, 0, unID, text-x, 2 : unID = unID + 1
      HOTSPOT2 -1, 0, unID, text-x, 3 : unID = unID + 1
      
      HOTSPOT2 0, 0, unID, text-y, 1 : unID = unID + 1
      HOTSPOT2 0, 1, unID, text-y, 2 : unID = unID + 1
      HOTSPOT2 0, -1, unID, text-y, 3 : unID = unID + 1
      
      RICHTEXT2 text-x, text-y, “AC_TEXTBLOCK_2″

      Hi Ricardo,

      rotation is always relative to the origin, so first move the origin to the anchor point, rotate, then draw the text at 0,0.

      Thank you, Peter, that works!! I’m so glad!! It makes sense! I don’t know why I didn’t think about that haha.

      Thank you Lingwisyer GC too! but I haven’t been able to make that to work with the hotspot. I am interested in using that in another object. but I don understand yet how it works. I did this (photo attached) what I thought it was supposed to be but it didn’t work. it says text is not a valid parameter :/

      The hotspot as written is not correct.
      Also I wouldn’t be using a dash “-” (means subtract), I would use an underscore (“_”).

      Try this …

      HOTSPOT2 0, text_y, unID, text_x, 1 : unID = unID + 1
      HOTSPOT2 text_x, text_y, unID, text_x, 2 : unID = unID + 1
      HOTSPOT2 -1, text_y, unID, text_x, 3 : unID = unID + 1
      
      HOTSPOT2 text_x, 0, unID, text_y, 1 : unID = unID + 1
      HOTSPOT2 text_x, text_y, unID, text_y, 2 : unID = unID + 1
      HOTSPOT2 text_x, -1, unID, text_y, 3 : unID = unID + 1
      
      RICHTEXT2 text-x, text-y, “AC_TEXTBLOCK_2″
