air flow direction symbol as a tag for air terminal.

[danezeq]

Hello 🙂
I want every Air terminal in the project will have an ajacent air flow direction symbol.

is there any better way to do it then draw, group and copy it between air terminals?

Hello,

You can nest a detail item or use model or symbolic lines to create these arrows inside the air terminal component!

Thanks.

but this way the symbol wont change it's size in accordiance with the scale. no?

is there any family of air flow direction to download which is changed it's size in accordiance with the scale?

[fabiosato]

Hello,

It will depends on which component you nest, you have two options:

1 - Generic Annotation - Keeps its size in the sheet, always the same size in the sheet no matter the scale. In views when you change the scale it changes its size.

2 - Detail Item - Keeps its size in the views, always the same size, like component geometry. I the sheet, if you change the scale it will change its size.

Not sure whats the different between them.

I did the symbol on "edit family" but it's doesnt react to scale changing. sould i do it differently?

Hello,

When you use a annotation family, you insert another family, from generic annotations category inside your component family to represent the graphics.

If you draw lines inside your component family, their size won´t change!

Check the attached files, they are just an idea, to get a better result edit them!
