By default, MIRRTEXT is on. This system variable affects text that is created
with the
TEXT, ATTDEF, or MTEXT commands; attribute definitions; and vari-
able attributes. Text and constant attributes within an inserted block are
mirrored as a consequence of mirroring the entire block. These objects are
inverted regardless of the
MIRRTEXT setting.
