Hi, I am stuck a bit further in Dimensions while migrating it from AutoCAD to ESRI, where the angle of the text is appearing flipped, i.e., rotated by 180 degrees. For most of the cases, the Dimensions have come correctly, except few where, either the Dimensions itself or the Dim Text appears rotated. Dimensions should appear exactly as they are in the dwg file. Can someone help out on this ? I have attached Workbench, sample dwg and GDB for your reference. The WB has been created in 2018.1 32-bit version. Dim_ACAD_2_GDB.zip

The text direction relates to the direction of the dimension. If the dimension has been drawn top to bottom, rather than bottom to top, you see the result as in the green outlined dimensions.

To correct the direction you will need to swap the geodb_dim_begin_dimension and geodb_dim_end_dimension around
