mtext rotated 270 degrees

[Anonymous]

just opened my drawing that I have been working on for about a month and noticed that the text is rotated to default at 270 degrees.  Typically, I would just ignore it but it has become quite the annoyance when I want to actually rotate the text.  I have looked through the forum and have tried everything suggested that seemed to work for others including; changing the font to Arial, changing settings on MTEXTFIXED, making sure my display settings are correct, and I have a "world" ucs, and nothing seems to work.  Can anyone help me with this new issue?  I am using a MAC

@Anonymous ,

Please provide an image with the UCS icon.

(UCS = World  and  PLAN = World)

Consider AutoCAD reset.

@Anonymous ,

Try changing the Direction Control in the Drawing Units dialog and see if it makes a difference on the properties rotation.

Hi @Anonymous,

What about the coordinate system in the drawing?
Is it WCS or UCS?
Do you have this problem in all of your drawings? Even in newly created with the default acad.dwt template?

Can you share this drawing here?

That did it!  I changed the direction on another drawing, not sure why it went to this one.  Either way, that was the solution! Thank you!
