I have posted something similar to this before http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=34339&highlight=angled+parameters&page=3 and received grate feedback. Except this time I have a circular post in the equation. I think iive tried everything "dbaldacchino" explained in the other thread. What I think it is, is the circular post and defining its origin. When I try to apply the parameter to the angular dimension in the family I recieve 3 errors (see JPG: angular-error) I attached the family I am working on...just a quick explanation would be grate...but if you feel compelled to fix the family...be my guest!!! Cheerz! - BTW: using Revit Architecture 2008

What I generally do when I need to rotate a nested component is to have the ref. line in the nested component along the center axis, with one end locked to the axis of rotation. Then in the host family, lock the end of the ref. line to the rotational axis and put an angular dimension from the hosts ref. plane to the nested families ref. line.
