I need to be able to hide the label in a generic annotation along with the linework WITHOUT hiding all my other generic annotations. I can do this with the line work by creating a subcatagory but there does not seem to be a way to hide the label without hiding all the generic annotation catagories. For example, suppose I have both mechanical and electrical annotations and want to hide just the electrical. When I do this the electrical labels remain. I have attached an electrical annotation family for someone to play with.

If there is a different approach to what I want to achieve, I am open to any ideas.

I can't open your file, so i might be missing the point here, but...

If its a generic annotation, its 2D and it therefore wouldn't really matter if you deleted them all from that view. If you wanted you could copy and paste them all into a new view that you just keep it hanging around till you need it.

Options for turning text labels on and off are limited, but you could add a visibility parameter to the label and turn it off there... you would end up with nothing showing though and don't know how you would select it. If you are after a generic annotation that inclueds both mechanical and electrical notes then this would be perfect for just turning off the electrical labels.

Sorry you could not open the file.

However your comments gave me some ideas for a couple of possible solutions. It too bad that labels cannot be grouped into the a subcatagory like lines/solids/voids can. At least that is what I am getting from your response.

I will play with this somemore and see what I can come up with. Thanks.
