Rotate text in symbol

Minet
Minet over 2 years ago

We're using Capture CIS Orcad. Recently migrated from another tool, and migrated the whole library automatically. One of the symbols has text - not part of pin names or database properties (part number etc). Just an extra description on the symbol itself.

When the symbol is placed and then mirrored, the text is not mirrored, it is then upside down. Pin names, part name and value are right side up. Just this text element is not. It makes the schematic look funny.

How can we get this text to not mirror when the symbol is mirrored?

Preview of the symbol:

And this is how it looks when mirrored:

    This is happening because the text is associated to the symbol as a graphical property and it rotates along with the part.
    One workaround can be to create different view of the part, like convert view, where you can have the text placed accordingly.
