How to rotate text?

I seem to have a problem with the text from the sketches in onshape, as the box enclosing the text keeps defaulting to one position. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Reuben_Abraham ,You can rotate text in Onshape sketch by two method.
1st Method:- You have to delete horizontal constraint in text and give dimension to one point after that you can rotate text. Kindly refer below video for more detail.
2nd method:- There is a tool "transform" in the sketch , you can rotate the text with it

By default there's a horizontal constraint on the box. Checking "Show Constraints" or hovering on the bottom line will allow you to select and delete the constraint, and then you can dimension as appropriate to rotate the text.Arul Suresh
