Hi
Maybe there is something that I have forgotten or not understood correct. But allthough I have a fixed value of 45.0 in Cell Angle the Cell are placed with rotation equal 0
Here is how it look when placing the point:
I have offcause tested this in both 2D and 3D files and both with point and graphic cells (and to be absolutly sure both with shared and standard cells) The result is the same: Cell is placed as with active angle 0.00
What do I wrong ?
Hope somebody can help

Are these point feature instances retrieved from a spatial database that has a rotation field defined ?
Actually No.
In this test it was only a test of Cell Angle field in GSA being placed by the command Manager As you can see in the second screendump.
But you are somehow psychic, because the real problem is how we get an orientation stored in Oracle Spatial Database to be a rotation of the cell placed :-)
So if you have a solution for that --I will be glad to hear
As my Daughter used to say " I'm Psycho" when she meant she was psychic. :-}
As for the setting in Oracle Spatial, when you create the spatial table for the point features ( yes this works for both cells and annotation), you define a rotation, xscale and yscale field ( as floating point). Then when you register the feature in the GSA, you tell the wizard which fields are to be used for the rotation, x and y scale. When the point feature gets posted, those fields will be automatically updated in the spatial table based upon its current geometry in the drawing. The xscale and yscale are used for Tw and Th for text features and x,y scale for cells. You can name these fields what you want, they just need to be a numeric with precision ( ie NUMERIC (10,3)) and not a varchar or date or integer.

...will also add that Bentley Map supports the use of Oracle oriented points described here to persist the rotation of the feature instance.

Gentlemen,
This is a know issue and it was already reported as " [Point-Text] [Point-Cell] Angle value is not considered in cell placement and import by Mapped Name."
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Best Regards,
