[Feature request] Configurable text flip

EtDusEtDus Member Posts: 4 PRO
Hi,
When mirroring parts in a part studio, it would be useful to be able to configure horizontal and vertical text flip.
In my case, I'm mirroring a part designed to be 3D printed and we're adding informative text like the revision number directly on the part. The text is normaly mirrored when exporting the mirrored part to STL. It would be useful to configure text flip so we can choose either normal or mirrored when before exporting and have the text readable. 

Thanks

    Hi.
    You can configure @dave_cowden 's surface text feature today. I'm not 100% sure if it's got a flip but I think it probably has. If not how about making 2 text features, one reversed and one not, and then use your configuration state to suppress the feature du don't need?
    Cheers, Owen.

    When I do this, I make my text a separate part, then pattern subtract to all of the mirrored parts.
