Exactly, and there is no way of rotating the interface, so if you have
one sketch with the writing a different way up from the others, it's
difficult to read. It would be nice to be able to rotate the whole
drawing area whilst drawing scraps based on that sketch so that one
can read the notes/labels.  Perhaps there is a way, but I couldn't
find one, last time I had this issue.

(And this lack is presumably why the drawer in the original post asked
for sketchers to use N=up so that writing/notes/labels and N are consistently
aligned in the scans).
