Object on a Path tool but rotate objects relative to artboard

Hello all, 

Is there any way to rotate my objects and position them vertically relative to the artboard as opposed to the path using the new Objects on a Path tool? I need my objects to be placed on a path exactly the way the tool does, but I need them all individually to be straight up and down to the artboard. I can't seem to find a way to do that all automatically without detaching them once spaced along the path and setting every objects rotation to zero individually under Transform properties. I'd like to be able to do them all at once. Transform Each doesn't do this either.

TIA

I've got the tracking I think, but I still don't know how to get the letters to be vertical in relation to the artboard.


It's in the menu Type > Pathtext > stairsteps

Can you share a sample Illustrator file for inspection?

Thank you for trying this. The second example in my image is the exact shape I need it to look like, but to achieve that I had to change the rotation of each number individually and set it to 0 in the transform panel. I was hoping for a faster/easier way to rotate all of the numbers so that they were all vertical but still follow the same shaped path. Object on a Path has rotation but only with respect to the path, not with the artboard. I have to detach the objects from the path and then rotate them as I described. Transform Each will not do it either.
