Label Justification Based on Leader

I'd like my tag to align its justification based on what side the leader is on.  Currently, if my leader is on the left side of the tag the tag is aligned properly to the leader.  If I drag the leader to the right side of the tag, the text is still justified on the left.  How can I make my take more adaptable?leader justification 2-8-2019.PNG

This is not easy to do. It requires additional types and the use of invisible lines to get the justification as desired. The leader "origin" is based on the geometric center of the entities in the tag family and requires geometric gymnastics to get it to work the way you want.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

Settings are in the text, not the leader....click the text and change the justification.  Done.

I’m referring to a label within a tag, there isn’t an option to do they with a tag.

Then create a tag that has both a left justified label and a right justified label and assign a visibility parameter to them and create a "Left" type and a "Right" type.

 

Text type or label type...settings are still there not in the leader.

That becomes very convoluted when you have multiple labels and visibility parameters already set up in the tag.

Correct. That is why the tag needs to be designed with the final outcome in mind. Sometimes it's easier to start over from scratch than fix something that isn't working as desired.
