I think that was around 12 years ago, i bought one book and i read one interesting thing about how we can understand what is happening in AutoCAD.pat file and how we can make decode that.įor that year, regarding to my experience and knowledge and also regarding to the explanation of that book, that was very hard for me to understand what is happening in *.pat file, but that was first start. I know this is not unique post but i’m sure this could be one of the useful post for all Revit or AutoCAD users, Now you can define new family type regarding to any angle as you want. Now go to family “For Angle Definition” select annotation line and say turn off visibility. Move you group from reference location like below pictures to the center of family, which is intersection of two reference plane. You will get result like below picture and say Finish Edit mode for group. Make click and drag on the grip that you can see and do this clock wise. Go for edit group and make edit your group according to below pictures and step that you can see. Select angular dimension and make it change to Overall Angle.Īs you can see in below picture, suddenly you will get sort of result like reverse for you text element. In formula row for Overall Angle define this ” Angle+135 “. Now you need to define one Angular Dimension between Reference Line and that annotation line from “For Angle Definition” family.Ĭall that “Overall Angle” and define another parameter “Angle”. Select Generic Annotation Family “For Angle Definition” and label text object and put them in the group.ĭefine one Reference Line with 45 degree like below picture and make it Pin. Now just load it into your Furniture Tag Family and define location for placement like below picture. Define one annotation line like below picture,

Go for another Generic Annotation Family, you can call that “For Angle Definition”. Just define one new Generic Annotation, you can say this should be Furniture Tag or any other Tag.ĭefine Label Text as you need and define right location regarding to reference point of two reference plane. Just take a look to below picture, did you saw this before? one Tag with two label text, for example : Type Name, Column Location.īut, but because you need to present this label text with different direction you have to make duplicate from that and you have to define extra parameter for visibility to say for 45 degree which item should be presented, or for vertical and Horizontal.

This is very useful tricks and i’m sure when you are delivering projects, you will face with this issue or you already face with it. Now after while i just want to share one tricks with you, which i shared in BILTANZ 2018,
