Aligning Text to be read from the Left

I'm making a prototyping board for 4 different types of LED's on one board. I need to align some of the text so it can be read from the left side and top of the board. Rotating the text doesn't work because the text can only be read from either the bottom or right side of the board. The text I'm trying to align to be read from the left is circled in the photo. How do I align the text?

Thanks,

Mike

Set the SPIN flag in the properties of the text

Hi Mike,

Unless I am mistaken, you can go on text properties and tick "Spin" option.
After you can rotate your text and it's possible to read it from any sense.

Hope it answers to your question

Someone on another forum explained that the upside down ABC+ icon can be use to reorient the text to the direction I wanted and that works. I would first click on the text icon, enter the text, rotate the text to the side I want it readable from, then click on the upside down ABC+ icon to flip it. Seems like a lot of steps just to get the text into the orientation I want.

Michael,

the workflow could look like this.

Click the Text icon
Type the text + OK
Now the text is following the mouse cursor
Click the "spin" icon in the parameter toolbar
Type in the angle + enter
Place it.

Once done the this parameters are used for the next text (which is already following the mouse cursor)
Type in new text and place it

Not so complicated, I guess..
