View Labels and Line

[phyllisr]

Attached is a screen shot of a modification I made to a view title family and a .zip file with the actual family. I would like to understand the relationship between the line, the reference plane in the label and the actual view on the sheet. I am aware this may seem like another obsessive-compulsive "why bother" question but my goal is understanding the concepts as much as resolving this particular issue.

I modified the family to increase the bubble size. In order to maintain the OC relationship in the Y direction between the center of the bubble and the left edge of the view, I increased the radius and moved the reference plane to the right edge. This worked fine and I accomplished what I wanted. However, I cannot determine how to control the start point of the line. Can anyone explain how this works?

Thank you.

Moving the reference plane caused your problem.

Open the view title template family (File/new/family/Annotations/view title.rft)

You'll find an explanation written in a note there.

Perhaps I was unclear in my post. I understand the information you provided. The question is maintaining the OC relationship between the bubble and the actual view. I chose OC because I thought it would be simpler to grasp since this is the default. The OOTB view label happens to be 1/4". By default, the line begins 1/8" from the center of the circle. When I use this view label in a project, the view itself defaults to align with the center of the 1/4" circle.

To exaggerate my intent, attached is another screen shot where I made the circle ridiculously large and left the reference plane in place. As you can see, the view aligns as if the circle were still 1/4". What if I want to view to align at the right edge of the bubble? What if I want the view to remain OC? What if I want it to align with the left edge? I also understand that I can manually move the label and I am aware this may seem like splitting hairs about a small thing.

My ultimate goal is understanding how this programs "thinks" and how to fully grasp the concepts. This is one small example. Hence, I am still looking for an answer.

Thank you,
