Drawing Symbol Text at an Angle

Symbol text can be angled as shown to the right:

Choose General in the Program Options section of the Tools tab.  Choose the Edit tab to change the angle.  Then, for the symbol for which the text should be angled, select it and click Draw Text at Angle on the Current Object tab.

Text above and in the middle of the symbol will be drawn up from the symbol at a 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 135, or 150-degree angle. Alternately, if the text is below the symbol it is drawn down at -30,-45, -60, -90, -120, -135, or -150 degrees. Any text greater than 90 degrees is reversed so that it is not upside-down.

Note: When the “Draw Text at Angle” selection is active, the following constraints happen automatically:

1     Only a single line of text is drawn regardless of how many are in the symbol.
2 No text box is drawn even if selected in the Toolbox for this symbol type.
3 The “Force background color” option under Tools | Options | View/Display is ignored. The degrees setting defaults to 45 degrees. It can be changed under Tools | Options | View/Display
