To reverse text in Delta Cad You're right, if you mirror a Delta Cad drawing, the text does not reverse. But there is another way. (But it has a drawback)
You can reverse text on Delta Cad if you hit File then click on "export" as bitmap file. Save this temporary bmp. file. Then open up a blank new DC page, click on File then click on import bitmap to clipboard, hit enter. This places a bitmap version on your page. Then draw a vertical line to the side of drawing, select the drawing, click on mirror function then click on the vertical line and the image reverses, text and all. Do this step only after you have made all changes to the drawing because when in bitmap form, you can't work with its individual elements anymore. (but you can select only your text and just export it as a bmp.and not the whole drawing, then when you can paste the bmp. text onto your DC drawing and you can then manipulate other parts of drawing). Or you could copy drawing into a Photoshop type program and use its mirror function. John John L. Carmichael Jr. Sundial Sculptures 925 E.
