Help me....i am about to loose any sanity I had. I am attempting to make some wall hosted equipment families that will be used primarily with interior elevations. These families will be clocks, plug molds, thermostats, cameras, etc. The equipment needs to be labeled, and I am attempting to use a "Generic Annotation" family nested inside each of the "Wall Hosted Equipment Families" that I am creating. My problem is....the Generic Annotation can not be placed in the "Placement View" elevation of the equipment family, and will not appear when placed inside the model. I can bring the annotation family and the equipment family into the model seperatly....What am I doing wrong? Below is the Clock/Speaker Family that I am trying to make, and have an embeded C/S label

This is what the final outcome looks like in AutoCAD. I want a piece of equipment that is wall based and has a notation associated with it (for example the C/S for clock speaker). and I only want those notations and objects to appear on the interior elevations. I have found a workaround, but am not sure if it is a "best practice" The work around is to insert the Generic Annotation into a Detail Family. Then I insert that detail family into the elevation view that need (in the case of the clock speaker....the "placement" elevation) so it kind of goes like this "Annotation Family > Detail Family > Specialty Object Family > Building Model" Seems kind of a roundabout way, and I am not sure that it is correct

Okay I was going about this the complete wrong way... I answered my own question. I am now using Equipment Tags reading the "description" field of the object. Much easier this way. Sorry for the stupid question...real Duh moment.
