> Upgraded to Big Sur, created a new file, and when i used the Dimension tool to show the dimensions of a line the text is upside down. Rotating does not fix. Flipping does not fix. This also affects existing files where there is dimension text. Bug? Some setting somewhere? Any idea on how to fix?

disconnecting external monitor and relaunching sketchup seems to be a fix
