Text justification and flipped DB's

[kkinchen]

I have a DB with attributes that are left justified. However, when the DB is in the flipped state, the insertion point for the attribute remains to the left. This creates a problem because the position of the text relative to the target (this is an elevation tag block BTW) is important, the desired composition of the tag becomes compromised.

I would like for the justification of the attribute to be flipped along with the rest of the block.

Does anyone have an idea on how to correct this?

PS - I've included the block so you can see what I mean.

AFAIK, It's not possible at the moment.

Refer to the topics below to in the "Similar threads" area. Which backs up Opies original answer of it is not available yet. Maybe a future release.

The sample block I'm thinking of is Commander Datum. It's around here somewhere ....
