    Lightbulb Window Tags w/ size of windows

    I have created a window tag that describes the window sizes. but as you can see I have a problem when I move along a wall path. Any suggestions?

    Can't you drag it out of the way of the window?

    Did you want to show it vertical?

    The text that is on the left is how the tag comes in after the window is inserted. Perfect location. As you see on the bottom window the tag stays the same. I wish it would rotate automatically. Can tags do that?

    When you place the tag there is vertical - horizontal toggle on the upper menu bar.

    I can't coordinate what your saying with the pdf. Do you want the tags parallel to the window and offset so they are not on the window?

    The tag on the right is in a perfect spot because of the dimension line will hit the middle of the window so the tag is offset slightly.

    The same window on the bottom the tag doesn't rotate unless I manual rotate it. I dont know if its possible to have the tag know how to rotate depending the location of the window or like ADT I can insert a text and then it rotates in 360 degree. I wouldn't mind that either.

    If you want to use the same tag for horizontal windows as vertical windows you will need to use the toggle. Otherwize you can have two separate tags and not need to toggle. EDIT: "WRONG" thanks Steve

    Steve, I'm assuming the rotate parameter to be in the tag properties, where?
