Measure Path extension text on path is upside down

Postby ritaqk » Thu Dec 29, 2016 2:55 pm

I use the measure path extension a lot, and recently this has begun happening to me. I like to have my measurements on the path, but lately they've been appearing upside down and/or backwards. This only started happening recently too, and it happens with all my files. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling inkscape, with no success. This is extremely frustrating, since I need a lot of measurements and flipping every text box is inefficient. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm on version 0.91.

I'd try a preview... if the text is inverted/backwards, Escape, reverse the path and preview again.
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/
