Scope box annotation on sheets

[Anonymous]

I have a project with partial plans on angled building parts. For this i have scope boxes setup for the areas and the scope boxes rotates to a 90 degree angle on the sheet to orient the reading view, which is all well and good. 

But the text and annotation doesn't follow the sheet orientation - I have looked around and the fix for view titles, callout tags etc is to create rotated family types, but the annotation text is going to a chore if it's not possible to create it with the sheets orientation without having to rotate manually. 

Any ideas?

Annotation created prior to rotation of the scope box will not orient correctly, but new one will.

The text box marked in yellow was created after rotation. 

I guess i'm looking for a setting that changes the general orientation for text boxes as you create them - Otherwise as i say it would have to be done manually.

It makes no senses. Are you creating the annotation directly in the scope boxed / rotated view or in the parent view?

Wait a minute.  Did you rotate the scope boxed associated with the view or did you rotate the view on sheet?  They are totally different approaches.

You can rotate them afterwards. 

....you're talking about views Rotated on Sheet; tight?

I included the process in the pictures 

1: The view as set for project North

2: The scope box dragged to the **** (It aligns the scope box to the sheet automatically) 

3: I choose the rotate 90 degrees option to fit on the sheet size - Prompting all annotation to appear rotated as well. 123

Your process is rotating a view on sheet, not rotating a scope box. What you referred to as a "scope box" is not a scope box object in Revit, it is just a view. Don;t use rotate view on sheet for this.

You can activate the view, select the crop region and rotate it 90 degree in the opposite direction you want to rotate the view. It should works.

I sort of get what you mean, but the viewport is cropped by the assigned scope box (See picture) 

I tried not rotating the view on the sheet and rather activate the view and then manually rotate the viewport - It moves but can't rotate - it keeps its original orientation as seen previously.

When you rotate the view crop region, it keep the size but actually rotate the orientation of what is in it.  Just stretch the crop region to show what you need.   See screenshot and screencast.

I can do what you show as long as my view doesn't have an assigned scope box - I'll stick to just duplicating floor plans and adjusting view ports myself, for areas that aren't 90 degree angled on Project North from now on then. 

Thank you for all the help.

It is actually easier if the view has an assigned scope box. Go to an overall view where you see that scope box then rotate the scope box, then stretch the scope box size to fit.
