Allow Tag Rotation - Keep default behavior as-is, but allow for post-creation rotation (using the rotate tool) of all tags on an as-needed basis (so "Align with Element" only governs until "overidden" by the Rotate command)
Or just fix the Foundation Tag behavior. I had to create a Foundation Tag family with Labels in 5 degree increments controlled by visibility parameters (for use with Wall Footings), but I don't recall having to rotate other tags (such as for Framing).
@lionel.kai Some tags rotate with their objects, others don't, even if you tick the box, "rotate with object" Ideally it would be consistent across all tag categories AND have some rotation grip for instances where you DON'T want it aligned to objects. TBH the whole Horizontal/Vertical switch is pretty bad too.
I agree with what both of you say (especially on the Foundation Tags). What i am asking for is the ability to rotate tags using the Modify/Rotate command (essentially overriding the "Align with Element" part - which would become a default on creation but not necessarily a Locked position).
This is compounded occasionally by the need to have tags read slightly "upside-down" - which is impossible to do in Revit. I run into this often when dealing with framing tags that i want to all read the same "direction" from one end of the building to the other. A tag looks fine when it is anywhere from 0-90 degrees, but the second the element is rotated past 90 degrees, the tag flips around.
I think it would be a nice addition to be able to use the "Rotate with component" option and tie it to a parameter. Instance would be best, but Type would even work. Either would be better than what we currently have to work with.
I just created an idea for that option. If this link doesn't work, just look for one named "Allow tags rotate with component as an instance". (For some reason my links never work when I copy/paste them from the Idea page).
When tags have the "Rotate with Component" option, the placed tag should actually rotate with the component.
Currently tags for Furniture, Furniture Systems, Casework, Generic Models, Structural Columns, Detail Components, Curtain Panels, and Specialty Equipmenthave this option, but it isn't working. The tags remains horizontal or vertical.
Example below: tags for wall and door are aligned to the element.
The tag for the elevator (Specialty Equipment) remains horizontal.
It would be great to rotate tags with all categories as same as generic annotations. According to our standards, tex tags should be parallel to the element
It would be nice all annotation updated (column grids, elevation tags, text, etc.) when views are rotated. Would cut out the clean up process in the views and sheets.
We have the problem with wall foundations where the walls are at odd angles. The wall footing tags don't rotate with the wall footings, and are useless in a lot of projects. We also have a door type with embedded lintels/headers as shared structural framing members. The structural framing tags won't align with those either.
This needs to be fixed! My prints are getting ugly without tags that can be aligned to their elements. I am working on tagging lights at the moment, but I have run into this issue many other times as well.
We ran into this as well. In this example, some information is called out with a tag and other is embedded in the symbols. Because 'rotate with component' doesn't work properly, our drawings get harder to read.
