2 questions...

First I am trying to create custom keynote tags that we can saved as a family and be able to add text to in a drawing. We have a lot of demise pier options in our centers and while they all have the same tags, the numbers in each vary. Is there a way to create one of these and be able to inport it into the drawing and how?

Also when I rotate a view clockwise or counterclockwise to fit on a titleblock, none of the text in the drawing stays so now we have to flip the sheet, or turn out heads to read it. This includes column numbers in the grid heads, and all of the text in the drawing. Anyway to fix this?

 

Thanks in advance!

No there is no way Revit will not rotate your text if you rotate the view

Have you looked at how to create keynotes and keynote legends in your help?

Part of your problem is process.  There are two ways to rotate a view.

  1. Rotate a view window
  2. Rotate view on a sheet.

You want to use rotate view window I think.  Open the view, turn on the crop window.  Pick that and rotate it.  All text and dimensions will stay normal.
