&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Basically there is no View rotation to use VI Text.&amp;nbsp; so the text needs to be always horizontal.&amp;nbsp; What Rod has created is what we need in the product.&amp;nbsp; cheers Rod :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How can I place a rotated cell that always keep the horizontal text?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/781606?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 Sep 2023 07:22:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e1dd0f45-b8ba-411d-b7bb-ae2dea4742da</guid><dc:creator>Stuart Milne</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Ron.

&lt;p&gt;Stuart,&lt;br /&gt;I think you should re-read the original post.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The OP and the &lt;a title="Idea: Place Cell with horizontal text" href="https://microstation.ideas.aha.io/ideas/MSR-I-1333" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Idea &lt;/a&gt;from &lt;a href="/members/e5a21d05_2d00_e786_2d00_4bf9_2d00_aed6_2d00_3b3df38738c1"&gt;Ian Lapper&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;specifically mention&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;placing a rotated&amp;nbsp;cell that contains text&lt;/strong&gt; which will always keep the text horizontal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;br /&gt;Ron&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How can I place a rotated cell that always keep the horizontal text?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/781489?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 12 Sep 2023 13:49:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:71b5a331-d4c4-45db-8b7a-113a64de3f78</guid><dc:creator>Rod Wing</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I have a freeware macro that will help with this...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a id="" href="https://envisioncad.com/freeware/microstation-resources/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The Text Rotation macro can rotate text inside of cells without rotating the cell.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Select the cell(s) with the text to be rotated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. In the Text Rotation dialog select &lt;strong&gt;Rotate by Angle&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Rotate Text in Cells&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" src="/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/273/pastedimage1694526373542v1.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Click Unrotate&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" src="/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/273/pastedimage1694526507256v2.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As you can see from the dialog, it can do a lot of other text rotation related things too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can download it, and our other free macros, from here...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a id="" href="https://envisioncad.com/freeware/microstation-resources/"&gt;https://envisioncad.com/freeware/microstation-resources/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How can I place a rotated cell that always keep the horizontal text?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/781413?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 12 Sep 2023 06:27:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:7d279f22-e8a3-4881-a1a9-f8d7aa9300c5</guid><dc:creator>Stuart Milne</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;By placing the text as &amp;quot;View Independent&amp;quot;, the text maintains the existing rotation within a cell. I will mark the idea as Exists. If there was a different requirement do let us know.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create a Point Cell containing a single letter Enter Data Field&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create a Graphic Cell with the symbol graphics, like the&amp;nbsp;circle and a filled wedge shape in the example.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Place the Point Cell from step 1 in the Graphic Cell&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To use this new Graphic Cell:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Place the Graphic Cell in your design.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select the cell&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the Properties dialog expand the cell entry and highlight the Point Cell (in the example it&amp;#39;s&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Cell: EDF single&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Under Geometry set the angle to zero.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Deselect the cell.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To change the character in the cell use the &lt;strong&gt;Fill in single Enter Data Field&lt;/strong&gt; tool.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This video shows how it works:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://communities.bentley.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/273/VI_5F00_tag_5F00_example-Project.mp4"&gt;communities.bentley.com/.../VI_5F00_tag_5F00_example-Project.mp4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here the example cell I used in the video:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://communities.bentley.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/273/VI_5F00_tag_5F00_example.cel"&gt;communities.bentley.com/.../VI_5F00_tag_5F00_example.cel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We then&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;could make a script to place the first cell by name and by rotated then just add place text&amp;nbsp; with level, weight color font and size..&amp;nbsp; but I think manual add text easier.. yes too bad the text independent view rotation is not an attribute for text in cells&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How can I place a rotated cell that always keep the horizontal text?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/615815?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 22 Oct 2020 16:38:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:ceaee63e-dde2-4956-a667-8b030b4dc994</guid><dc:creator>Armando Luevano</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello jwingfield,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I probed &amp;quot;view independent&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;into the cell but did not work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ll wait for improvement. &lt;/p&gt;
