The invention discloses a method for inspecting the text direction in PCB design. The method comprises the following steps that 1, the layer where text needing to be inspected is opened; 2, a filter is built, all current text is selected, and a text list is built; 3, attributes of all text in the list and superior devices are obtained in sequence; 4, whether the mirror states of the text and the devices are consistent or not is judged, if yes, the step 5 is executed, and if not, an error list a is added; 5, whether the text is a mirror image or not is judged, if yes, the step 6 is executed, and if not, the step 7 is executed; 6, whether the rotation angle is 0 or 270 degrees or not is inspected, if yes, skipping is conducted, and an error list c is added; 7, weather the rotation degree is 0 or 90 degrees or not is inspected, if yes, skipping is conducted, and if not an error list b is added; 8, a report is generated, the error list a, the error list b and the error list c are displayed in the report in sequence. The work efficiency is greatly improved, and the design quality is improved.
