How can i align a text over a line? I know only "Align Elements By Edge". Here in attached image, i am doing this way (Rotate by 3-points method and move in to right position) Any easy method for align text over a line?
Hello,
When you place a text you can change the Method to Along Element in the Tool Settings dialog
Then you just select the element along which you want to place the text.
Kind regards,

Thanks Rene
But it is usefull for only new text.
But i am trying to align existing text to a line. (For a data cleanup project)
Any trick for this?
or any Mdl Tool for this?
Please advise me again..
Check this link. You can download Active Angle Assistant to rotate the text to the line. Then you just move the text into position. You could also use the edit text tool and copy the text then use place text and switch it to along element.

Thank you very much..
Realize this post is very old but it was the first result returned by Google when I searched for a solution to this question. I'm no means an expert but I've found a way to do this using AccuDraw, one that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else, that I've been able to get down to just a couple of seconds.
1) Manipulate > Rotate, set Method to "3 points".
2) Pick text to be rotated.
3) Next, either pick the pivot point, or confirm the text selection (depending on whether you checked "About Element Center" in the Rotate dialog).
4) With focus on AccuDraw, key in "RE" for Rotate Element. Pick the selected text. The AccuDraw compass should align with the red line parallel to the text. It can be tricky to pick the right spot, repeat this step if you miss.
5) Move cursor to snap to the compass red line and pick again to define start of rotation.
6) With focus on AccuDraw, key in "RE" again and pick the line you're trying to align to. The compass should align with the red line parallel to the line. Again, repeat this step if you miss.
7) Move cursor to snap to the compass red line and pick again to define end of rotation.
Hope this helps anyone still looking.
