Issue Details

I would like to rotate a string or numeric indicator 90 degrees on my front panel. Can this be achieved?

Solution

Within LabVIEW you are only able to set the vertical alignment of a label, caption, or free label. See error 1453 in General LabVIEW Error Codes. 

There are possible workarounds, depending on what your coding goals are. An example VI is attached to this article.
