Hi,
I have created a family that has a generic annotation that can be stretched right-left / front-back (the extrusion stays in place).
I need the front-back parameter grip to be NOT visible and only controlled in the properties panel.
I have a similar family that is working as expected (see attached example)
I tried to make the parameter as a weak reference but it didn't work. Any ideas? See attached example.
Thanks!
edit the parameter and make it a Type Parameter vs a Instance Parameter.

which specific parameter in the "Working Sample" is controlling the distance, and not displaying grips?

Ok.... I think I see what's going on now.... I dissected the "working" family a little more 😊.
in the "Working" family the symbol is a nested annotation family. in that nested family there are some controlling parameters. one of those parameters is associated to a instance parameter in the main family. so the Instance parameter in the main family is controlling the offset parameter in then nested symbol causing it to move.
so you need to add some parameters to your Symbol and associate them to your parameter in the parent family.

Hello,
When you have a reference plane set to Weak Reference or Strong Reference attached to a dimension linked to an instance parameter, you will get the blue arrows.
