Hello,Im hoping that this is a simple fix, i created plan symbol offsets using parameters. They work correctly except that the offset is going in the opposite direction i want them to. Offsetting wont work with negative number values so im not sure the easiest way to fix this issue. Any help would be great. Thanks!!

How did you define the offset?  When I need something that would end up negative, I often build in that possibility by changing my reference point to keep the number positive.   Exmp.  Offset of 10 is really 0, 5 is really -5 - understand?

Will mirroring the symbol work?

Got it! I knew it was a simple solution. i had to mirror the symbol and edit the detail group to keep everything working correctly. Thanks!!!

Any idea how to make a tag move with the symbol. Ex. i have a Fire alarm device with a candella rating(tag). now when i offset the plan symbol. the tag remains in the same spot. Would it be better to nest the candella tag into the family?
