This command will rotate the orientation of the text of Carlson point attributes (point #, elevation, description) and/or point symbols. The Twist Screen option aligns the point attributes to appear horizontal in the current twist screen. The Azimuth option allows you to enter an azimuth or pick two points to align the point attributes. The Entity Segment option aligns the point attributes by the selected line or polyline segment in the direction the entity is drawn. The Follow Polyline option aligns the point attributes by the polyline segment that is closest to the point.
