How to...

In the option menu, enable the Developer Mode: File → Options → Advanced → General, check Run in developer mode

Now you can left-click on any link to display the ShapeSheet

In the ShapeSheet, go to the Text Transform section



In the TxtAngle setting, replace the current angle (0 deg) by this formula:
=ANGLEALONGPATH(Geometry1.Path,1)+IF(COS(ANGLEALONGPATH(Geometry1.Path,1))>=0,0,180°)
