    Default Complex line orientation in UCS

    Hi All
    I am working with a complex line (textual) that will only display upside down due to the fact that I am using a UCS and the text is orienting to WCS (I think). Does anyone know how I can correct the linetype text to display relative to the line or to the UCS?

    Please note....I know about 'Reverse' command, however it does not fix the text orientation.

    Regards....Andy

    You need to change the Rotation in the Linetype Definition from U= to R= in the *.lin file and reload the linetype.
    The U= Upright Rotation is locked to the WCS so in a twisted view or with a UCS those linetypes often appear upside-down.
    With the R= Rotation the 'Reverse' command works as expected.
