Yes by using max_extent(OBJECT_IDENTIFIER) and min_extent(OBJECT_IDENTIFIER). It works
with any object.
#declare you text object with no rotation, feed it to max_ and min_extent, calculate
the mid point
and translate your object as needed. If you need to rotate it, translate it by half
it's dimention
(to center it around the origin), rotate, then translate to it's final position.
