  • Illustrator – relevel rotated text

    Posted by Vincent Rosati on October 25, 2006 at 8:26 pm

    I have an AI file with numerous instances of rotated point type. Is there any way to return this type to it’s original horizontal orientation – other than manually rotating each instance?

    No there is not, Illustrator does not keep track of the original attributes before transformation as a page layout program like InDesign or Quark does.

    Can you set a new point text with all the characters you need?

    If all the type are different fonts I would set a line of point type in arial, then select each letter by characters, and use the eyedropper to sample the character attributes (size/color/font/etc). You may want to doubleclick the eyedropper prior to this and check to pick up appearance attributes also.
