Spot Cordinates Rotate with Component doesn't work on families

It's a great feature, that lets you rotate the Spot Coordinate tag by checking the Rotate with Component checkbox under the type properties.

 

It works on Model Lines, walls, etc.

But as soon as you put in a family, rotate it and then do a Spot Coordinate, then it won't recognize the rotation.

 

Am I missing something? Maybe I need to add something else into the family, for Spot Coordinate to recognize the rotation. Or, maybe it only works on certain type of families?

A friendly bump - in case someone has anything to share.

Otherwise, this might be something to post under the Ideas forum if nothing else helps...

Yes, but this doesn't work on families.

Any ideas on workarounds?

 

I've got a family that you can host on sloping floors and I wanted to put a Spot Coordinate on that.

The problem occurs on any families, but I attached this specific family anyway.

Line-Based Families.

Wonderful, @barthbradley !

 

I changed the category to site, but it can still not host to a toposurface, like the family I sent.

 

Is it because it is a  line-based family or am I missing a setting somewhere?

It needs to bea line based family ... families defined by 2 points ... start and end have a direction which the spot coordinate tag can orient to. Normal families don't

 

Nest a line based family (shared) into your original site/entourage family to create that cross hair. This way it will host to topo and it will have the shared line base to tag with spot coordinates

What do you mean?  Yours doesn't "host" to a toposurface either.   

 

....What about Baluster Family? Railing can be hosted to Toposurfaces.

Yes, it does actually, please see the screenshot - Site-families can be hosted on toposurface.

@barthbradley & @RDAOU - I seem not to be able to nest a line based family into neither my site family or a baluster family.

 

However, I could nest a Detail Item Line Based family into the Site family, but it didn't really do any difference when it came to rotating the elevation.

 

I think I came across a trick where you would host something on a toposurface and then, host something else (in our case, the family by @barthbradley) on that something. I just cant remember what type of family it could be...

Are your Spot Elevations actually referencing the Measure Symbol/Family or the Toposurface?  When you move a Measure Family does the Spot Elevation annotation follow along for the ride?

Try the attached

  1. Use Tab over to switch direction to line orientation
  2. It is an Entourage which hosts to site as well as floors, roofs, ...etc Passepartout 

 

If you prefer it Site Category...edit the family and change it but I would keep it as entourage
