We have a project with a rather long structural grid labeling convention (WP-K.1). I was trying to create a family that would place the text parallel to the grid line, but can't get it to work.
I've tried un-checking "keep readable," no avail.
I made a version that had visibility parameters for horizontal and vertical display, but that doesn't work well for sections/elevations, since the text would always want to be vertical, even if in the plan it wants to be horizontal.
I've tried nesting a family in, but you can't map to the "Name" parameter. You can map to a Name parameter, but it's not the same one that is in the Grid label.
Any thoughts?
