Could someone tell me how I could place a text in a family which will also show up in a project model?  The text must be self aligning so that it's always upright and readable, and always at a certain point relative to the model.  And while in the project, if I VG to turn off text, it will also turn off.

 

The family is an unhosted fire extinguisher and the text will be "FE" for designation only.  The "FE" will be in front of the extinguisher (not in the centre of it).  I want someone to drop this family in all over the building but not have to worry about the direction the wall is facing.  When he rotates the fire extinguisher to place it on a wall, I want the text to orbit around a pre-specified point in the family while the family is in rotation, but self-align so it's upright.

 

It's important that the family is un-hosted.  I don't want to deal with extra things especially on a loose item such as this one.

 

Hope to hear!
