How to prevent flipping a written text

Hi,

I write some labels within my blocks.  i am using IC6. The problem I have is when I flip the block all my labels also get flipped. So it will be difficult to read the labels. Does anyone know where I can find the setting to prevent that?  In previoius version such as IC5 the default set up was you couldn't flip a label. 

 

Thanks in advance,

Dennis

    I just figured it out.  In the text option you must select the drafting option to prevent labels from flipping as well.

    This is the documented behaviour - see <ICinstDir>/doc/vlehelp/vlehelp.pdf and search for "Draft" to see the definition of Drafting - it means that the label will not be displayed as rotated by any more than 90 degrees. The default is for labels to be created in "Drafting" mode - so maybe that default has been changed in your environment?

    Regards,

    Andrew.
