How to flip text when text is rotated upside down?

How to flip text when text is rotated upside down?  How do I set that up?

I have north arrow with a project north arrow and a true north arrow inside.  they both rotate independently of each other.  when I rotate the true north arrow I want the text to rotate with it.  However the text is upside down for half of the rotation?  Is there a way to not have it upside down?

any chance on setting the rotation within a dynamic block?

Hey Keith, "long time no harass".  How you been? I will be down close  your neck of the woods on Wednesday.  I will be sure to lob something out the window of the air plane as I am coming into JAX!   :evil: :-) [/side track]

I would use a FLIP action.  See the attached DB.

Not sure if this is what you want, but you can keep the text from rotating at all by chaining actions.

Keep text from rotating in a DB

Yeah, I have had tons of crap to deal with ... when you lose 95% of your workforce, you tend to have to pick up more work around the office to remain gainfully employed ... add to that a 25% pay cut and the wife being unemployed and suddenly you find yourself working day and night just to stay afloat .. thankfully though, we have managed to cut our debt by 40% in the last 6 months, plus we are much better off now than we were.

So what brings you to the river city?

Yep I am working two jobs to make ends meet.  Good job on the cutting of the debt.  I keep saying "I just need to make it to October.  That is when the oldest goes into school and we have no daycare for her. That frees up 5 Grand.  But we are heading into the summer when the my wife does not get paid. 

Heading up to Darien Ga to see my folks. Wrong time of the year to be doing it but my arm was sort of twisted as only parents can do.  Ahh it will be a good time.  It will be the first time flying for my oldest, so I am more excited for her than she is. 

Good luck on your end
