KB: Why is my text upside down?
Created: May 07, 2024 | Updated: May 06, 2025
Text on my schematic is displaying upside-down
Solution Details
Go to Preferences » Schematic » Graphical Editing » uncheck (or maybe check) the box for Display Strings as rotated.
This preference setting can cause the manually positioned designators to display upside-down when the component has been rotated 180 degrees.
You can read more detail here:
Graphical Editing
This setting works in conjunction with the Autoposition setting, so you may also need to check the part properties for the strings / designators of your component. You may need to check (or uncheck) the Autoposition field.
If a designator is manually moved, it disables Autoposition. You can read more detail in this documentation:
