Automatic Wire end offset to generic annotation

When modeling wires they automatically adjust the 'Wire end offset' to the 3D model geometry of the camily being connected. However some families contain detail items or generic annotations resulting in the wire crossing these annotation lines, adding a masking to the generic annotation or the family has no effect on the wire visibility. Please revise the funtionality  to automatically adjust to the outside extents of the Generic annotation or allow the wire to be masked by a masking region.

I've encountered the problem you're talking about. To bypass this, I draw Lines over the generic annotation's masking region. Reload the generic annotation in your host family, then reload the family in your project, and try it out, the wires won't cross over the nested generic annotation. 

Basically it seems that in the nested generic annotation, region boundaries wont cut wires, but lines will, so I overlapped my region boundaries with lines.

Thank you for the suggestion, however my nested generic annotation is made of lines. I've tested adding masking regions and lines into both the host family and the generic annotation. But no luck getting the wire to go to the edge of the generic annotation.
