Many AutoCAD users have custom linetypes with embedded text. We use these lietypes to help visually identify what the line represents. Here is an example of an existing water main with a linetype having the text “EX-WM” in it.

You can easily tell which lines represent the existing water main. In this example we have a situation where two lines meet but the linetype text is oriented differently. It is upside down. We want the text to “flow” just like we want the water in these pipes to “flow”. The issue lies in the direction of the line. These two lines are LINE objects. They are not joined polylines.
