Mirrored Text Justification

[ndsmaug]

I have looked everywhere for an answer.  Why does Revit insist on changing the justification of text after mirroring?!?  Text originally left justified will automatically be right justified if mirrored.  I understand Revit's trying to "help" by mirroring/converting the justification, but is there a work around to getting this function to be less painful if you don't need this to happen?  If there are 50 notes in a detail to mirror and they all need to remain left justified after mirroring, I have found no quick way to change them than to go in one by one and re-justify them.  Annoying.  

Since there are no "Keep original Justification"  or "Justify Multiple" buttons , does anyone have any suggestions in the mean time?  

Thank you very much!

here are 2 options depending on the end result you're after:

option 1: mirror the mirred text in the same place while it is still selected (if there are leaders they will be mirrored also)

option 2: select all mirrored text, then change justification in properties under "Horizontal Align"

happy reviting!

BOOM!  Bearsly, you're my new favorite person (for two reasons).  Reason number 1, Option 2 was exactly what I was looking for!!!  Option 1 wouldn't work for me because I still needed the leaders to point in the mirrored direction, but option 2 modified the text all at once just like I was hoping for.

Thank you so much for your help!

P.S. Reason number 2, I also tell people "Happy Reviting" everytime I end one of my posts in my Revit blog.
