    Default Text orientation

    I'm trying to get the text from a multi-category tag to face horizontal and face the right side up on a sheet. I know I can turn the plan view 90 degrees clockwise instead of counterclockwise, but I want it to line up with the direction the camera is facing in the 3D view above it. Labels don't let you flip them upside down, so is my only option to have the text sideways on the sheet?

    Instead of rotating the viewport, you can go directly to your view and rotate the crop region 180 degrees. Turn On crop region, select it, go to Rotate function and rotate it. You will notice that all annotations (including your tags) will stay horizontal and readable.

    You can then insert your plan view like that.
