Is there a way to get the labels that are attached to certain oulets to read correctly. I have some where the text is reading upside down. I tried editing the family but it won't work for me. Any ideas?

***UPDATED***
I've attached what I'm talking about. The 3 on this 3 way switch is upside down, can we adjust this so it rotates the right way automaticly?

You need to make annotation tags (or symbols) and place them in the family. Set them to always read vertically and that will solve your problem.

I was having the same issues with my outlet family. However, when I set the label to "Keep Readable", it didn't fix the issue. Am I still missing something?

I beleive you need to make the lable family "readable" so if you open you outlet file, then from there open and edit the label family to "readable" I was able to get it to work. Here I've attached the file. But I am still working on having the 3 always on the right side or top of the switch, I haven't figured that part out yet. Hope this helps.
