Rotation of dimension text in Dimensions Style Manager

Hi, guys!
Does anyone know how to rotate vertical dimension text 180 degrees in the Dimensions Style Manager? I tried all combinations: to flip the text, to change the view direction, but nothing works. There must be some "catch 22".
I’m familiar with adjusting it in the Properties Dialog
("Text Rotation"), but I have many dimensions, so I should set it in Dimensions Style Manager.
Please see the picture - this I why I need the vertical dimension text to be rotated: I need the text to align with the old design (marked in yellow on the drawing).

Hi Aleksandra,
You can change the setting of text placement vertically to "Below" and the View direction to "Right to Left" as attached image.

Hi, QuanNguyen!
Thank you so much for your response...
I did try this, but then, I also get all horizontal dimensions upside down! Do you possibly know how to avoid this?

Hi Alexandra,
You may need to create 2 separate dimension styles.
One for Horizintal numbers and one for Vertical numbers.
So you can control how they are displayed.

YES, this is the only option so far.
Therefore, I have to call for Developers again, to solve this issue.
As long as we keep collaborating, the software will be better and better. I suppose that this is not a big issue for Developers, to separate horizontal and vertical dimension and it's rotation in Dimension Style Manager.
I really need this software to work, because I live in a country where prices of design are lowest in the world (below China and India). We need to reduce the costs of tools (software) in order to be able to earn for living (even though we have a seriously good engineers). This kind of affordable software offers us a chance of independence, freedom and professional integrity.
