I'm trying to create an electrical outlet as a face based family so that it can attach to both walls and other families. It needs to have a symbol in plan with label text, although it doesn't have to scale since it's for 1/4" plans only. Here's what I've found so far.
1. In a face-based family you can only place a symbol in the Ref. Level view...
2. but you can nest a symbol in a detail component ant put THAT in other views
3. When you place a face based family on a vertical surface, like a wall or another family, the symbols do not show up.
Since the symbol doesn't need to scale I guess it could be made as a detail component or symbolic lines, but how would I get the label text to show? Must I use a completely different method, like separate wall based and non-hosted families? Thanks,
(If this has been covered before, please point me in the right direction--I didn't find any threads)
