Text align lisp - modify for mtext

[beardking]

I have a lisp that I've been using for years with dtext that allows me to align multiple strings of text along an x or y coordinate. In the past few months I've been using Mtext more and more (never liked it, but it's becoming more commonplace around my office) and unfortunately, this lisp doesn't work with Mtext. I was wondering if anyone out there would know how to modify this routine to work with Mtext or would know of another lisp that does the same thing. It drives me nuts to see strings of text placed haphazardly on a detail and I miss being able to use this lisp. I'll try attaching it for others to work with.

Thanks in advance,
KK

Give this a try. I'm in the process of rewriting portions (better functionality, works better with curves, etc.) but you are more than welcome to it.
It will allow you to select virtually any object (nested also allowed) for angle, or you can specify the angle, then you select as many blocks, text, mtext, multileaders and they will rotate along defined angle.
I know I've posted it here more than once, but I don't feel like searching for a link, so here it is.
Hope it helps. I know once it was initially finished, my life got a lot easier.

I gave this a try, but it seems more for matching the rotation of something rather than aligning the text along an x or y coordinate. Unless I'm missing something.

I'm sorry, I completely misread your post.

That was perfect. I liked the one without the dialog box better, and it is now part of my start up suite. Thank you very much.
