Rotate labels

#1 08-08-2008, 01:50 PM

Hi;

I'm prparing a series of site maps (YOU ARE HERE). They are similar but differ in orientation for different locations. Each map has over 200 individual labels that need to be rotated to match the orientation.

Is there a way to to this without individually selecting and rotating each label?

Thanks. I'm using CS2.

Did you happen to put your labels on a dedicated layer?

Indeed I did.

OK. This might work.

Rotate the whole shebang. Then, lock down everything but your labels layer. Finally, select all and use Object | Transform | Transform Each.

Mr. Appleman;

That did the trick.

Many thanks;

Hi Sachin;

Harron Appleman responded earlier with a suggestion that worked for me. If you've lost the thread or are not showing all messages, here is his reply repeated:

"Rotate the whole shebang. Then, lock down everything but your labels layer. Finally, select all and use Object | Transform | Transform Each."
