Line text rotation

How can I revised the linetype so that the text reads in the same direction.  The linetype text autoadjust to read correctly in Model Space. However In the plan and profile drawing the site is roatated 90 degrees so when the text changes direction from northwest to northeastand the line text changes direction.  I need for the text to be in the same direction the enire length of the line

You need to remove the upright feature from the linetype definition.  Delete the bolded red stuff as I show in the image below.  The text will all be in the same directoin, but they may be upside down.

 

This upright feature does not work well at all in paper space anyway.  it was a great feature on paper when it was introduced, but in practise it's not good for rotated viewports in paper space.
