Use the move command, with find filter set for text. With the text on the move cursor, rmb gives you a menu including rotate. You can preset the rotate for 90 degree increments. Move command also has settings for move by text origin, or wait until you pick the origin. For ref des, move by text origin is usually best.

This procedure is important from the standpoint of manufacturing. It appears that Allegro PCB Editor, as compared with OrCad Layout, does not have a text editor function with respect to existing silkscreen text (i.e., reference designators). Perhaps I am confused...simple question, but need a simple answer. Chris
