How can I get vertical graticule labels in my AutoCAD drawing?
Recently, we have had several requests for this. I will be looking at adding some features to Hawkeye to enable this for both graticules and tic marks. Since there are so many different preferences in this area, it may be difficult to provide something which will keep everyone happy. The following describes a technique which can be used with the current Hawkeye for both graticules and tic marks. It should enable you to precisely label either in any way you desire.
