Horizontally aligned text on dimension arrows (unidirectional) in Drawing

I like to have the option for dimension text on the arrows in the CAD drawings to be aligned horizontally (unidirectional). I'm producing CAD drawings to Australian technical drawing standards, AS1100, which is based on ISO. I can change the preferences to ASME to get the horizontal orientation, but it works in inches instead of mm, so the drawing sheet size is B, when size A3 or A4 etc. is preferred.

It looks like the only thing you can do is to create a drawing using the ASME standard in mm units and just deal with the non-metric paper sizes.  There does on seem to be a way to place uni-aligned dimensions in the ISO template standard.  Good suggestion for the Fusion 360 Ideas forum.

OK, I'm going to make a drawing template for both ISO and ASME.

I've put in the suggestion in the Fusion 360 Ideas forum.
