then you may play with ucsicon and take it to the direction that you need.

Copy the dim style that you want to use. In the new style on the text tab, text placement box, change the view direction from "left to right" to "right to left" That will make the text upside down for that text style, but it also makes the text on the sides readable from the other side.

If you want the text on the side to be read from the standard side you can always dim those with your original dim style and the top and bottom dim with the new style that is left to right.

Do you want the text to rotate in place?

Do you want the text to rotate to the other side of the dimension line?
(assuming DIMTIH is off)

Your inquiry is not clear enough.
