Section marker: Anyone know how to create this?

[John K.]

All,

Attached is a section flag I have tried unsuccessfully to model. The two stumbling blocks are:

1. Getting the reference text to condense two fields [Number + Sheet Number].

2. Getting the text to orient itself with the flag: ie: face-left / face-right as opposed to rotation.

The one I pulled from RUGI a while back didn't allow for text entry. Please help if you can.

Thanks,

John,

Point 1 is easy.

Point 2 AFAIK (unless V6 fixes this) is not currently possible . The best you can do is play around with the text position so it doesn't cut through the arrow for most situations. Playa round with this family in a project and you'll see what I mean. Particularly sections cut on an angle.

Guy,

Thanks for the help and the .rfa. I was able to modify yours to fit what I was looking for [attached].

Boy I hope V6 allows for this. It's been a sore spot for me for some time.
