Text can have a vertical orientation only if the associated font
supports dual orientation. You can create more than one line of
vertical text. Each successive text line is drawn to the right of
the preceding line. The normal rotation angle for vertical text
is 270 degrees.
NoteVertical orientation
is not supported for TrueType fonts and symbols.
Vertical Text for Asian Languages
- SHX
fonts. Text can be created with SHX fonts and Big Fonts
for vertical display in the same way as for previous releases. For
best results, use the single-line TEXT command, not MTEXT. You can
select a vertical style in the Text Style dialog box.
- TrueType
fonts. You still select fonts starting with the @ sign,
but now the text is automatically rotated 270 degrees. (In AutoCAD
2005 and earlier versions, you had to manually rotate this text.)
Vertical cursor movement is now supported for vertical text.
