Hey everyone, new guy here. I was wondering if there is a way to automatically rotate text in a device when placed for example on a wall? Here is the thing... Software provideds a standard and GFCI receptacle. The standard appears with no text next to the receptacle when placed on a wall, and GFCI places "GFCI" next to it. This is fine when you place this device on the south wall, so you can read it, not the others. Is there a way to automatically rotate this text around so it can be read from west, north, and east wall placements? One would think so. I'm just trying to avoid making 4 of everything... Thanks for your help in advance.

hi try right clicking and go to properties and possibly there might be a rotate in the elements property. or create a new GFCI family with this auto rotate option. Another is to make another GFCI family and have the GFCI label vertical and horizontal the other. I haven't had a lot of experience either with the electrical labeling , bu these are some of my thoughts. 6slinger

See the attached one for reverse engineering. Basically the GFI is a nested annotation that is always 'readable' a properties under Family Categories and Parameters
