   1. Select the label where it has been dragged to.
   2. Hover over the square grip point and choose Rotate label.

   3. Move your mouse so the label is rotated 180 degrees. The text will flip over to be readable as you do this.

      Tip: Turning on the ORTHO functionality is helpful here to get exact rotation.
