Text/ Curve Text (PMI): Setting the Text Rotation Angle

Interaction with the two functions Text (a curve function) and Curve Text (a PMI function) is identical.

The result of the Text function is a feature, while the result of the Curve Text function is an annotation.

Text
(Curve function)

Create a wireframe (curves) out of text. Create and position wireframe text (arcs & lines only) from text defined in any language, font, or according to specific parameters. The result is a Text feature.

Curve Text (PMI function)

Create PMI Text that can be used as a curve. Create and position PMI text from text defined in any language, font, or according to specific parameters. The result is an annotation that behaves as geometry when exported to NC, Drafting, or external files.

In an assembly, this function is available when a part is activated.
The PMI text curve is associated to the picked entity. A PMI that loses associativity remains in its last position and changes color.
In addition, all PMI curve text in an assembly can be replaced by using the Replace PMI Curve Text function.

Required Step 2

Enter the required rotation angle. The text is rotated along the normal vector to the reference point of the text.
