Orientation of 3D Dimensions

Issue #188 resolved
Mike Bartholomew created an issue

It would be useful if 3D dimensions could be placed at the bottom of an object. Currently they can, but the dimension tag is below the dimension line, and it is mirrored. They should be above the dimension line, or at least there should be an option to place the text above or below, but in all cases the text should not be mirrored. See example of what is currently happening in my library for the object SteelGirderTest.

    Just to be clear, for SteelGirderTest object in the library. The following dimension line is the issue right? The others seem OK.

    Actually, all 3 of the bottom dimensions are upside down. The bottom left dimension should be 320. It looks like 350, but it should be the same as the top (320). The upside down 2 looks like a 5.

    Starting with v3.160523, you can control the rotation of text about the dimension line with attributes LabelRotX, LabelRotY and LabelRotZ.

    For your case, adding LabelRotX="PI" attribute to bottom DimensionLine objects should give you the behavior you are looking for.
