Making the Orientation of a Text Associative

You can define an orientation link between a text and another element. You can quickly rotate several annotations at once by specifying that the orientation of a annotation text is associative with another annotation text.


Before you begin: Open a 3D shape containing at least two text annotations.
  1. Right-click the driven text (text itself, frame or leader), and select Annotation Links > Create Orientation Link.
  2. Select the driving text (text itself, frame or leader).

    An information message appears stating that the driven text is located at the z-position of the driving text.

    Important: Driving and driven texts must belong to the same active view and must be associated with the same geometrical element. In our example, a face.

  3. Rotate the driving text.


    Both texts rotate to the same angle.

    Important: To remove the associativity, right-click the driven text and select Annotation Link > Delete Orientation Link.
