Is it possible to enter a precise angle to rotate text with the touch type tool?

    No, obviously that's not possible at the moment (in case you are thinking of a modal dialog or an input via palettes).

    Thanks for digging out the topic, schroef.

     

    Jay,

     

    maybe it was not possible in 2019 or maybe I was just wrong at that point.

     

    Correction 6 years later: To enter precise rotation angles one can select a letter with the Touch Type tool and enter the angle in the Character palette.

    I feel this tool hasnt gotten the love of smart guides. It would be so much nicer to have smart guides on this tool as well. same goes for reset option

     

    EDIT
    Well, going to Character Panel > Reset Panel. Its actually resets the touch type edits, but i had to do it twice. First time it clears the rotation, second time it clears the letter spacing and others
