Vertical dimension orientation not consistent

Rhino Rhino for Windows

Hi,

Can someone please explain me why, sometimes, a vertical dimension randomly change its orientation?
See example below: the ‘20’ vertical label is sometimes flipped (1), sometimes not (2).

Is that a setting to be defined somewhere in the annotation style? I’m slowly going mad about this…

Another question: I expect the dimension label to always point outwards:

Is there a way to achieve that? The text position options seems to be restricted to ‘Above line’ and ‘In line’, no ‘Below line’ option…

It is exposed in Rhinocommon though…

Hello - can you please post a file that has one or two of these?. My attempts, so far, all look the same and … correct.

Hi @pascal,

Did you manage to reproduce this issue? Can I help in any way?
Sorry to be insistent, but I consider this problem as a major one, as I’m currently not able to produce serious drawings for my clients. Nobody wants to pɐǝɹ stuff ǝʞᴉl this…

Here again one sample:

Ok, it seems to have something to do with the 'Orient text toward reader…" options.
Oddly, it does not seem to affect all dimensions the same way:

Is there a reason you don’t turn on Orient text toward reader?
