You could use a rotate command. or you could draw a base line and choose
justified and the aligned option to place your text.

Sorry I was thinking AutoCAD.

Not 100% sure what your trying to accomplish, but if your just trying to
rotate a sketch, goto tools, sketch tools, then rotate..

if your trying to wrap text around something, then you would use the
wrap feature.

You will most likely need to create a construction line within the
sketch that has your text in it. Use this construction line as a
guideline to place your text where you need it & at what angle you need
it at. Then pick the text you want to rotate and then pick the
construction line to align the text with it. Note that the line must be
a construction line since the text is your extrude geometry.

Thanks all for the asnwers.... problem is that the inexperience drove me
in the wrong way!.... i tried succesfully sketching a line on the surface
and the wrapping the text around it.

thanks all
