Angle Valve Operator Orientation

See attached images, the orientation of the actuator on angle valves comes out 90 degrees from where it should, how can I fix this ? The actuator orientations for inline valves show as they should.

Can you send me a copy of your model & the iso you have generated and your isoconfig.xml file. I will take a look and get back to you on this.

I am in amazement that you are able to get the angle valve to show up in the correct orrientation let a lone the actuator. I ended up making custom blocks and editing the IsoSkeyAcadBlockMap.xml.  I just learned today that TYPE=Valve-Angle will make the out of box iso angle valves look correct.

Hi,
I experience the same problem. I raised this issue with my Autodesk re-seller. After checking, they claim there is a bug in the software & have raised a call with Autodesk. So there is no fix (I'm told) other than to manually mirror or rotate the operator on the Iso .dwg before publishing!
