Revit 2015: anyone know how to rotate line in view label? I've rotated the view on the sheet (so North is up). Of course the view label rotates as well. So I edited the view label family to be rotated the opposite direction and it works but the line that 's between name and scale still stays oriented with drawing rotation. I can't find the line in the view label family to rotate it. What gives? Am I going about this the wrong way? Is there an easier way to rotate the view label on a sheet independent of the viewport rotation? Thanks in advance. DST

Not sure of what you are doing but I think the following is your problem:

You can rotate a view on a sheet as you have done and everything, including the title rotates.   I don't believe this is what you want.   Instead, remove the view from the sheet and open the view.   Turn on the crop window, pick rotate then your crop window.   This will not affect any model elements, just this view.   Now rotate the entire view the angle that you want.   It can be any angle whereas on the sheet is only 90 degree increments.  You will see that all dimensions and text will remain normal to your new orientation.   Now place this view on the sheet.
