Flipping Text

[Anonymous]

So I'm new to Autocad, so this might sound stupid, but does anyone know how to flip text. So when I type out using single line text to label an object. Every time I type it out if flips, not rotates, the text backwards. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or should I just flip the text every time or what.

Either:

A)  You're looking at the world from underneath.  Use the PLAN command to make sure you're looking down on it from above.

B)  You're using a Text Style that's defined to be backwards.  If it looks normal as you're typing, and flips when you hit Enter to finish it, that's likely the issue, rather than the view direction.  [Someone may have changed it on you as a prank....]  In the STYLE command dialog box, you can look into that.
