The text is not backwards, it is rotated.  So rotate it to how you want it.

 

If it were truely backwards, you would just have to use a negative depth but that is NOT the case.

After trying to determine what steps in the process I went through were causing me to have rotated model text as the default condition, I found it.

In the course of creating the extrusion, the first step was to draw a rectangle on the reference level work plane. when I drew from upper left to lower right and then completed the extrusion "box" , I created a condition known to most 3DsMAx people as an inverted solid. applying the model text it reversed itself as if I were placing it on a backwards 3D face.

Simply recreating the extrusion, using the same process but drawing the rectangle from lower left to upper right and everything worked as expected.

Wow - thanks, this is good information.

 

I just learned at our local RUG that there are some other weird things about families.  (Items learned by members at the RTC this year) You should always draw all of your reference planes in the same direction.  This somehow affects size and performance.   The name of the refernce plane will show you the direction it was created in because it is on the "drawn to" end.  It appears that the standard templates have horizontals drawn left to right and bottom to top. 

 

Seems like a stupid issue but not hard to follow and I don't know that I will ever see a difference.
