I wish to use a Language thats Right to left similar to arabic and cannot work out how to flip the words/names, if i mirror them they turn up upside down. is there a method of reversing the word?

    I don't think there is a way to do this in CC3 other than typing them in reverse order.

    A text entity itself cannot be mirrored due to the way this entity type work. but what you can do is to place some text, then use 'Explode Text' on it (found by right clicking the explode button), then finally use the Mirror command on the exploded text entity.

    Isn't there a windows setting for languages that affects text direction?

    Since CC3+ (and fastcad) presumably use windows functions within many of their commands, I'm curious if changing the windows settings would have any effect.

    You can reverse in windows by puting the text in a Text box and then Formating but it takes a while and dosent alow me to coppy the reversed text

    In Windows, if you right-click in any editable text field or document (including the text entry field in CC3/CC3+), you can select Right to left reading order. Supposedly, that will allow you to type and display R-to-L languages properly.

    It doesn't work quite right on my system when I'm typing English with a western font — the text alligns to the right and the final puctuation displays on the left but the text is still in the left-to-right order — but maybe it will work with a proper R-to-L font.

    Cheers,
