Valve size callouts on control valves

Hi,

When I convert a valve to a control valve, the size callout, i.e. 2", is right in the middle of the stem.  Can anyone tell me if there is any way to move the size callout over to the side?

 

Thank you.

This query must be post in the P&ID section, but then, as to your question, you can just edit the "tag" block or create a new one which suits your need. As you can see, you are using the default Plant 3d tag block available in the software.

Thanks.  I created a new tag but I can't find a way to change it to that new tag after I have inserted the valve.  If I change it to that tag in the project properties, it will be like that for all ball valves.  I am looking for a way to be able to change it once it is already inserted - different tag for different acuators. Not sure if this is possible. I will repost on the P&ID forum.  Thank you again.  It's a start!

In Project Setup, go to where you created the new tag or annotation and in the left column, at the bottom, is "TagFormatName" and "AnnotationStyleName"  Set those to the newly created styles and try it again.

But like I said, if I change it there, it changes it for ALL the ball valves.  I only want that option when I make it into a control valve.
