Hi  please see the attached dishwasher family from Revit content library. I want to change the text "DW", but cannot find the way to do it. 

 

I know how to add label into family and edit it, but this "DW" text seems not a label and I cannot find the way to edit the size. Please see the attached files.

 

Thanks in advance!

I have really no idea how they made a symbol, which doesn't have Edit Family button). Try to create a new one

@615148142 Yeah I would just recommend remaking the family because for the purpose of what you need it does it have to be a symbol family? And if so, just set the sizing of the label text when making the symbol family

You could keep using that Dishwasher family and just create a new annotation label.

Open the anno_label family from the default Annotation > Architecture folder

Edit the font size to what you want then load it in to the dishwasher family and replace the existing label, make sure to associate the label parameter in edit type properties
