Upside down text the way you would expect it to be.

It locks the rotation angle whatever you input. Unlock it.<BR /> <BR /> If the 180° does not work, try 179.9° Mon, 13 Dec 2004 16:24:27 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/rotating-text/m-p/79648#M41235 Djordje 2004-12-13T16:24:27Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/rotating-text/m-p/79649#M41236 <BLOCKQUOTE>Djordje wrote:<BR />Is the padlock in the Info box on?

Has always been in default (unlocked) mode for me, so hadn't had a problem, but didn't realize the possibilities. <E><span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:">😉</span></E><BR /> <BR /> Karl Mon, 13 Dec 2004 19:02:02 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/rotating-text/m-p/79649#M41236 Karl Ottenstein 2004-12-13T19:02:02Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/rotating-text/m-p/79650#M41237 I believe this may be related to the option to rotate or not rotate texts, labels and zone stamps in modules. So for example, when placing many instances of a module at differing angles in a plan one can control whether textual elements in the module is rotated or not. <BR /> <BR /> When the lock is applied these elements will remain at a fixed angle.
