    Problem

    How to rotate text to make it parallel with another element.

    So forexample, they want to be able to select elements/text and then use a rotate command to rotate them based on another element.

    Solution

    This can be done very easily using the key in ACTIVE ANGLE PT2. This sets the active angle by selecting any two points on the element you wish to match the angle of (MicroStation prompts you to enter a vertex, but any two points on the element will set the angle), then use the ROTATE ELEMENT tool to rotate the text item to that angle.
