Dimension rotate
When I rotate a floorplan 90 deg, the dimensions read from the right.
My title block is at the bottom and I am printing in portrait.
I need them to read from the left as I will be laying the paper longways.
Paper is 11x17Thanks.

Barry,
The dimensions are pre-programmed to work as you see them working.
The only alternative that I know of would be to replace all dimensions with CAD lines with arrows turned on for both ends and text for values which is not something I would contemplate doing just for that effect.
I am not sure that has changed in X1 or X2 (I don't think so).
I am so used to the way dims work in Chief I gave up worrying about them; being able to command them to display how you want would be a good feature but I do not think that ability currently exists.
I would be very happy to be wrong if someone knows otherwise.
