I have been creating a title block that has a Not For Construction annotation family inserted into it.

[list:218ad0d808]I have created 2 family types in the title block:
NFC - One to show the Not For Construction text
FC - And the other to leave (for the moment) a '.'[/list:u:218ad0d808]
The NFC annotation in the NFC family has been associated with the NFC family text.
When I flex the model it works fine, but when the title block family is inserted into a new project as a sheet the NFC text doesn't show. :?

I think I have set this up the correct way. Could someone please have a look and correct my ways. :wink:

Thanks.

I favour the simple approach.

Make 2 different sheets, one "For Construction" and one "Not For Construction". Load them both and just swap between them in the project as required.

I don't know why the nested annotation familes don't behave properly. I'm sure someone elese will, but in the meantime, my inelegant approach should get you out of trouble.

It's a bit late for an update, but looks like this is now working properly.

I haven't tried this with more than 1 variable, but by crating two visibility parameters, 1 for each of 2 stamp, lets call them "A" and "B", and then adding the formula against B "=not(A)", B will hide when A is ticked and A will Hide when B is ticked. Hope that makes sense.
