I am trying to make a new connection symbol for a splice connection for steel beams. This would be when a beam has a cantilever over a column and would be connected to the next beam with some web plates.
I made a new family using the Connection-Moment-Filled as a starting point and saved that as a new name. I them modified the lines in that family to the representation that I want. I load it into my project and add the new connection type in the Structural Settings Connection Symbols dialog.
I can't seem to get the symbol to be aligned in the center line of a splice location. The issue is when I model the next beam the bounding box (or at least I think the bounding box) of the first beam causes the stick symbol of the one of the beams to be cut back by the distance of the bounding box.
Any suggestions on how to fix this so my symbol is centered on a splice center line? The center line is just a detail line in the view.
Screen capture and family attached.
