I have a UDF which creates cuts and automatically numbers the cuts around a circular part. The numbers are in the correct place, but I want them to be rotated so they are readable from the center. Is there a way to do this?

This is a practical example with model to query. It is linear but the approach will be the same.

Maybe this what you needed?

If I understand your design intent, then you can place the text along a circle. Create the circle to locate the text first and then use it to locate & orient the text.

This will orient the text as you intend.

Thank you all for your responses. My numbers are not text in a sketch, they are notes. It is part of a pattern, as the quantity needs to be adjustable. Each note is placed at the end of a short curve that is in the first instance of the pattern.
