UCS rotation problem

    Im having a problem when using a UCS. Text has been inserted into the
    drawing when in WCS. Now I change to a new UCS, and want to orient the
    text at 90 degrees to this UCS. I expected to be able to just select
    all the text, and change its Rotation property to 90 degrees. However,
    this changes to rotation to 90 degrees with respect to the WCS, not the


    UCS. Does anyone know an easy way to overcome this? Beaso..

    Text and Dimensions are treated as 2D objects and the properties
    reflect that. You will need to use the "Modify>3D Operation>Rotate 3D
    command to rotate in the "z" axis. Or you can change your view to a
    perpendicular view and use the "Rotate" command. If you change views
    using the "View" Toolbar, the UCS will be realign to that view
    automatically. If you want a clearer picture of what the rotation will
    look like change to an Isometric View (the UCS will not reorient in ISO
    views) otherwise the text object will appear as a single line object
    from that angle.
