It would be nice to have the possibility to control the automatic Text orientation in Block attributes.
Something what would work like the DIM restriction: I can read the text horizontal and/or from the right side of the drawing sheet.

Right now I have the feeling that the Text orientation is dependent on the tool what I even use.
Different tools = different outcomes.

Constraining the orientation of block attribute text would be awesome.

For some blocks, the current behavior works well: I use it to annotate switches in an electrical floor plan where the 3 (for 3-way) or D (for dimmer) should rotate with the block.

For other blocks, constraining the attribute so it does not rotate with the block would be wonderful. A circuit annotation on blocks like receptacles or light fixtures would be better if the text had 0 degree rotation.
