Dimension and Label Directions

Anonymous
Not applicable
Aloha,
Using AC 8.1 on a PC w/ XP
Is there a way to set my dimensions to 'face' the oposite of the default direction and read from the left as opposed to the right.
Same question with the Label Tool...I cannot seem to orient the text of the label tool to read from the left.
thanks
dean.

Not a legal one ... as the rule is that all the text should be readable from the lower right corner direction when the "sheet" is horizontal.

But ...

Rotate them 179.9 degrees and see what happens; for the dims, dimension in the Aligned mode.

Got it?

Aloha Djordje et al...
Regarding the label tool: defining at 179.5 did not work,
but defining at 90.5 did and resulted in the setting becoming 270.5.
thanks for getting me on track.
I haven't tested out the dimension fix.
