I've been trying to create a View Title that will contain sheet information + a north arrow that can be toggled on or off w/ a parameter to rotate as well.  I think I managed everything thus far but can't figure out how to set the north on/off toggle.  Can someone advise as to what I'm missing?  I have attached the file for reference.

Why?  To maintain graphic consitancy throughout documentation.  To be more efficient.  Some dwgs. have north arrows, others do not.  Having a view title w/ the north arrow prevents you from having to import 2 separate families which saves time.

Why not?

click the north arrow, go to instance properties, click the box to the right of "visible" parameter, then link this to a new paramter, called north arrow or something.

make sure it is an instance parameter.

Rstred5,

Thanks.  I've mangaged to get it to toggle on and off by selecting alternate family types from the view title type parameter.  However, this toggles the arrow off on all title for the project, not just a particular instance.  I double checked and the family parameter is set for "instance".  Any thoughts?  Revised rfa attached.

when you create the parameter, make it an instance parameter like rstreds posted.

I may be missing something here.  I have the paraemter set for "Instance" as Rstreds suggested (see attached jpg).  I'm haveing trouble controling it when linked with a view setting.  I have also attached a jpg of the setting for "instance properties" from w/in the template file.  If I can't resolve from this post, I'll give up and use a separate north arrow from the title info.

First off, make the instance paramter a "graphic" paramter.

Also make sure in the family, you have clicked the object, and tied the visibilty of it to that paramter. Using the small box to the right of the "visible" field.

ya i would put it under graphics as well, and do like rstred said, click on the arrow and where it says visible, click the box on the right and select the yes/no parameter you created.

I played with your dilema for a bit this afternoon. I couldn't link a parameter to the view title. I tried a project parameter, but when it showed up in the view title properties the parameter was greyed out. There may be a way to do it, but I don't know how.

What I was able to do was add a rotatable North Arrow with a yes/no parameter to a Title Block. You could deselect the visibility parameter on the sheets you don't want a north arrow. This is the best I could come up with. If you need the families, let me know.

Good luck
