After many google searches and read posts issues continue to be encountered when trying to constrain a label to a reference line.
The goal is to have the text move as the reference line moves in the family. Seems easy enough. However, when trying to actually build the family, as soon as the label gets constrained to the ref line the behaviour of the generic anno family becomes unpredictable. Trying previously successfully strategies such as inserting the label as a separate family or grouping the label with another line which in turn could be constrained fail either because 1) the family immediately becomes over constrained and Revit gives errors or 2) the family dimensions no longer move predictably as the dimension parameters change even though seconds earlier without constrained text the family worked perfectly. It's this unpredictability which makes the issue so hard to diagnose and solve.
I have no idea why the text and labels are so hard to constrain to geometry but does anyone have any insight into how to consistently and successfully constrain text to a reference line in a family?
As per requrest. A bit bigger than I wanted but this shows the family in a passive well-behaved unconstrained state.
As requested, for reference I am trying to constrain the label "X.XX kpa" to the reference line directly below; or rather the family genorating ref. line 7mm below that which powers the geometry of the family. As the lower ref. line and geometery move up it obsurses the label. We need them to move in concert at the specified offset.
Without seeing a complete picture of your family, here is a test file with the label position locked to the movement of the reference lines.
Super interesting. Thanks for making that little family. I inspected it. There are some similarities with what I've been doing and some immediate differences which are probably where my issues lay.
Just a note... this doesn't work with text.
I am trying to constraint some text in my title block so that it moves with the edge of the box and I am unable to do so using this method.
