Question
I fliped my USC coordinate Y plane down so I could put my drawing on coordinates. Now my text and dimensions come in upside down and mirrored. How do I fix my text and dims to accomodate my flipping of my UCS coordinate?

Answer
All annotations/dims should be placed in your UCS World coordinates - not w/ your X,Y, or Z rotated. You have to revert back to your UCS World & reenter these annotations. Trust me, this will save you the headaches. To do this:

UCS
World
Plan
Current
Re-enter your Texts & Dims

Under such circumstances where you really have to invert your text:
Select the text
Turn on your properties pallet (ctrl+1)
Under 'Misc', select 'Yes' for the 'Upside Down' entry.
For your dimensions, they will have to be exploded & repeat process.

Hope this helps!
