Here is my situation. I am getting base maps of roads, section lines, city limits, etc. For the roads i am getting a single line for the centerline of the road. I have a tool that offsets and trims the roads to the width that i want. The only thing is that all the road names are not aligned or spaced between the two offset lines. Is there a tool or lisp or anything out there that can rotate text and align it a certain distance between two lines? Also it would be nice if it could be done in bulk. Thanks for any help in advance.

So far I could suggest changing text properties,
justification to middle center and use ALIGN command to make it easier than
rotating…

I have been using TORIENT, and that is definitely faster than rotating, but would still need something to space the text between two given lines.

Maybe this Dynamic Text Alignment lisp routine by Lee Mac would be of some use.http://lee-mac.com/dynamictextalignment.html
