Leader Text Orientation in 2016 idw

Morning All

 

I have noticed that since installing Inventor 2016 that when I drag the leader tail to vertical the text rotates to vertical. Previously the text used to stay horizontal. Is there a setting somewhere that keeps the text horizontal? I have tried playing with the text rotation but this does not give me the results I want.

 

Cheers

Right click the leader, "edit text leader"

Highlight the text and rotate:

Thanks for your reply.

I've tried that but I still can't get the orientation I used to be able to get.

Top pic is what I get

Bottom pic is what I want and used to get before 2016

Hmmm, then I can only imagine it's a setting under Styles and Standard Editor either in the menu shown below or where the purple arrow is. Let me know if you come right:

Thanks, I've had a look there but could not see anything obvious.

Maybe it's as simple as holding down a key whilst moving the text....just like they've done with the leader no longer automatically snapping to set angles and having to hold the Ctrl key.

Sorry I couldn't have been more help! Hopefully somebody else can help. 

It may be a click and drag trick. Or, as I call it, a PICNIC problem - problem in chair not in computer.

No worries.

My IT guy calls it PEBCAK...Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard.
