Locking Text Orientation

You can lock the orientation of a text. The text orientation no longer follows the change of orientation of the symbol, port, or route it is associated with.

  1. Right-click the text, and then select Properties.
    The Properties dialog box appears.
  2. In the Text tab:

    • Select one of the following references:
      • Sheet: To define the text orientation according to the father component axis system.
      • Father component: To define the text orientation according to the sheet axis system. The father component can be a symbol, a route, or a port.
        Note: A route has a different axis system for each of its segment. The text orientation is displayed according to its linked segment.
    • Select one of the following orientations:
      • Horizontally
      • Vertically
      • Fixed Angle
        Note: Selecting Fixed Angle allows you to define a rotation angle in the Angle text editor.

  3. Click OK.
    Note: When you modify the text properties, you also modify the diagram view, sheet, or symbol representation containing the text.
