Default import text angle for HPGL file

My problem is that when I import a Hewlett Packard HPGL file into Coreldraw X6, the text is all rotated by 90 degrees. Is there a registry setting - or other way that I can change the default import angle for text to 0 degrees please?

I believe there was a macro that would find all the rotated text and set them all back to zero.

Import your file, ungroup then run the macro and input the desired rotation.

Sub RotateAll()
Dim sr As ShapeRange, s As Shape, angle#
Set sr = ActiveSelectionRange
angle = InputBox("angle") '- clokwise direction, + counterclockwise direction
For Each s In sr
x = s.CenterX
y = s.CenterY
s.Rotate angle
s.CenterX = x
s.CenterY = y
Next s
End Sub

Thanks Myron, I will try this. Do you think it will be able to distinguish between the graphics and the text?

It seems such a strange import default - and it wasn't always the case in earlier Coreldraw versions either...
