annotation tags

[MikeJarosz]

I'm making annotation tags for rooms and areas. I entered 3 labels that I want on 3 lines and centered. I can't find a way to exactly center them. The little triangle that indicates center won't appear.

Anyone know a way to center labels in an annotation tag?

Using center justified labels - When you place your fist label, try to pick the center of where you want your label. After placing your second and third labels, you can move these and they will have a temporary alignment line in their center that will snap to your first label.

I should have known......

That alignment line is one of the great conveniences of Revit. I didn't notice it was happening because my labels are centered on the reference plane in the family editor. Zoomed out, the alignment line (pale blue) got lost in the stronger green of the RP.

When I zoomed in close, I found it. Just in time, too. The designers noticed the room tags didn't look right.
