Align to line polyline etc

Richard Sands

Not sure if this is just for adding new LISP or a 'How do I do this?' query.
I used to have a LISP that aligned text to a line or polyline etc
I lost my LISP routines in a recent computer crash.

I would invoke the LISP, select text and then the line and it did just that.
I have other routines but nothing as simple.
Can someone please help me find one.
I Googled and whilst finding some useful ones didn't find this simple LISP

Anthony Apostolaros

If you want simple, why not just use the Rotate command? Select the text and then pick any two points on the line.

Richard Sands

that's how I have been doing it but the other option was so much simpler
when there's lots of ends close together it gets tedious
These are survey notes for the Titles Office and they are busy with blocks, arrows, lines ect all converging to similar area.
That old LISP spoilt me and I pine for it

Something that could be useful are the next programs from Lee Mac:

Alternatively, the TORIENT command from ExpressTools could be worth trying.

Thanks JGA
Not something I've thought an option but there are times I do need same and it's been so tedious 'my way'
This will help immensely for those times of need
I see that is Lee Mac too - excellent
