Elevation view tags

[yes_and_no]

I m sure you guys have ran into this situation where you have elevation view tags pointing to different sheets, resulted in no reference at all (left).

Pls save me the work-around of making 4 different tags.

I know somewhere someone already made similar tag as shown on the (right).

Wd you point me there if you know ? Thanks in advance.

- Edit the elevation pointer family and add Sheet number to the label

- Edit the elevation marker family and remove Sheet number label

Save them as copy so that you can create a different elevation type for only this situation.

With that said, I would just place them as different elevation markers altogether and use the standard one with the sheet number inside the circle.

Thanks Toan. I made it. Not perfect visually, but good enough for me.

Extra parameter for North arrow rotation seems not allowable in this tag kind, perhaps yo

 

u can help ?

No instance parameters work in elevation families. You could create different types for different angles, or place a north arrow separately over the elevation marker in view in project.

Thanks, I went with the first suggestion with a downloaded family.

Inside the family itself, the triangle has center point at the center of the triangle. However when I bring it in the model, the insertion mark is shown at somewhere else, making angle parametric adjustments gone off center everytime. How to fix this ?

I also learn from Rv19, (where I worked while ago), that you can lock (not pin) two families together, but I forget. Does anybody remember how ? Thx.
