Beam Tag Orientation

Is there a way to change beam tag to left direction/Orientation.

It occurs when I draw beam diagonally left

Hi @walidinJKACC. I think this is not possible. The mark will always be on this surface of the element while you are at 0-89°. You can move it, but you can not rotate.

It seems to me that in this case everything is displayed correctly. But if not, you can only add a leader and make it like in the picture below.

in the tag family, select the tag and make sure that the option "Keep readable" is checked

Good advice, but it didn’t work for me(
You can uncheck "Rotate with component" in the family and set the vertical orientation in the project.
