Text rotation in labels

[James Murray]

I am wondering if it is possible to force text to remain level regardless of the Label Rotation: Orientation setting. (Similar to rotating text in an ordinary object depending on the state of V~ and W~) Does the parameter AC_bLabelAlwaysReadable have something to with it?

Hi,

Read about controlling labels here, label ac_ parameters here, label globals here.
If you need it to remain horizontal independent of plan rotation, use the “View_Rotangle” request.

Here is some sample code I find works. It also accounts for view rotation. ‘txt_font’, ‘txt_size’ and ‘txt’ are parameters:

DEFINE STYLE 'txt1Style' txt_font, txt_size, 5, 0

!View rotation angle
rrr = REQUEST ("View_Rotangle", "", angleViewRot)
totRot = (SYMB_ROTANGLE + angleViewRot)
IF totRot > 360 THEN totRot = totRot - 360

STYLE txt1Style

TEXT2 0, 0, txt

That adjustment doesn’t seem to correct for when the label is at an angle, see image.

The text is still orienting correctly within the context of the label – it’s the label itself that is rotated. You will need to use the LABEL_ROTANGLE (I think) to always keep the text horizontal. Haven’t looked into it myself, but that’s where I’d start.
