Problem with grid family

Hi fellas!

How do I get this family to work as intended?

I believe that the label in a grid head tag will never rotate automatically. You can, however, make another grid bubble with the label rotated and use that for another grid type in your model. You will then have to manually pick between the two types.

Sigh...this makes me question using Revit...all those ugly solutions to simple daily tasks...
Thanks for pointing that out, thought it somehow could be possible (though I wasn't sure)

Use a circular shape instead of an elongated shape. The circle works well in all views.

With such a long grid name the circle will be pretty big, looks a bit weird...

Eliminate the space between the letter and the number, or put the letter above and the number below inside a circle.

The grid line bubble is a circle so that it can accommodate grid lines at any given angles. Think about every time you rotate a grid line you need to create a new grid line type if you were to use a non-circle one.

This is a small project with only vertical and horisontal ones, so thats fine. But I really think that Autodesk should get the "rotate with component" to work with grids.

We're also having problems with sections, elevations and other symbols. It doesn't look like in the USA everywhere :zwinkerndes_Gesicht:

Grids naming in Revit is kind of designed in such a way that its readable at any angle..

if Revit allows to rotate it , then at 180 deg, the grid name will be upside down...

and users will definitely complaint about that. . 

so the default setting does works for most of the users...

Some of us need longer grid names that would not be printable keeping the text vertical.  Annotation objects have an option for the text (Keep Text Readable) that keeps the text from going upside down.  I think the original poster has a very valid issue.  The mock-up below was done with that setting on a generic annotation.  I've seen this type of annotation used in CAD drawings that made complicated grid layouts much easier to read.

Hey, but how do you get the "name" parameter of the grid work within a generic annotation tag?
