Why wouldn't you use mtext with one letter per line?

Not bad if you have just a couple things to edit. The difficult part is the 'letter', return, 'letter', return, 'letter', return. I know, it's not THAT difficult, but doing several, over and over again gets very cumbersome, time consuming and annoying. A vertical text would make typing a lot faster. Unless you pick at it like a chicken, :lol: then I guess it wouldn't matter.

Open the text style dialog box (Type "ST" or "STYLE") on the command line. Bottom Left corner under "effects" check "VERTICAL". Be sure to create a new style name for this text style, otherwise ALL type in this font will change within your drawinf.

I tried that in ACAD 2000 Windows 2000 and the text went up
the screen and the letters were not rotated. As if you selected
a 275 deg angle. Although the book shows vertical text
as he is looking for. :?: (dtext with shx font)

Not to mention that w/ 2k4 ADT, for some reason, not sure why, my selection for vertical font is grayed out. Will not let me make that selection. :?

works on mine, using romans and mtext.

I don't think TTF fonts support vertical alignment, at least, not all of them.

Yes Kate..no TTF
In ACAD2000
Vertical
Displays the characters aligned vertically. Vertical is available only if the selected font supports dual orientation. Vertical orientation is not available for TrueTypeŽ fonts.
Perhaps only some shx fonts support vertical orientation.
