    With this idea, I am only referring to editing the coordinates of 'text', to be able to align multiple text properties by coordinate. Not referring to point coordinates. For example, selecting multiple text onscreen and changing the northing property to 1000.000 so all the text is aligned. Similarly with easting. This would be handy for creation of manual tables within the drawing space, title block edits, WAE long section markups where adding text to existing overlays.


    Whilst on the topic of aligning text:

    • With 'snap nearest point' on, you can't use ‘rotate text’ to align text to other existing text. This only works with nearest point snap off. This used to work in v8 with point snap on.

    • With ‘snap nearest point’ on, you can't use ‘rotate text’ to align text to a line by clicking on the line (without clicking on two nodes). With all snaps off, you can align text by clicking on a line (without clicking on two nodes). This used to work in v8 with point snap on.

    Hi Greg,

    Can you give me an example of what you attempting to do? I'm not clear if you are referring to the Edit Point panel or text on the screen.
    From the edit point command this may be a dangerous option.
