Hello @sky32826164nhcn,

 

Thanks for reaching out. It seems like you might be using the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) version of Adobe Illustrator, which has different text direction settings. In the MENA version, text is entered and displayed from right to left.

To address this issue, you can try changing the text direction settings. Here's how you can do it:

  • Select the text with the Selection Tool (V).
  • In the Paragraph panel, click on the "Text Direction" icon (it looks like two arrows pointing in opposite directions).
  • Choose the desired text direction (left-to-right).

 

By adjusting the text direction, you should be able to control how measurements are displayed. If the issue persists or if you are not using the MENA version, please provide additional details about your Illustrator version and system configuration for further assistance. Also, if possible, please share the problematic file.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Best,

Anshul Saini
