I have furniture and equipment families that I would like to create a tag or label for. (Example: refrigerator family is labeled or tagged with an R. Microwave is labeled or tagged with an M) I need the tag or label to always be horizontal, regardless of how the object is rotated. What is the easiest way to accomplish this?Thanks!

If the label is nested in the family itself the only easiest way to accomplish this is to duplicate the label in the family and rotate one of them 90degrees, then apply a instance visibility parameter to the labels so you can decide which one should be shown.

The other way to do this would be to tag the family in project with the appropriate category tag or a multi-category tag then it would always stay vertical but you would have to add the tag to every instance.
