When creating Evacuation plan, it is necessary to have a specific workflow because the plans need to rotate for each sheet 

and the symbols need to always be straight.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Start by placing instances on the floor plan as usual. All symbols are Fire Alarm Devices.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

When all symbols are placed, run the tool Tag Evacuation plan



----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This will place a tag on each symbol matching the family.

If necessary, add a leader to the tag and Leader Arrowhead


----------------------------------------------------------------------------


How the software matches the symbols, is because both the symbols and tags both have a parameter, Fire_FamilyTagMapping in Type properties. If they match they will be placed on them.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Create dependent views from the view that has been tagged.

Rotate each dependent view after each choice.

The tag will always be readable no matter rotation.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The symbols that were placed needs to be hidden in the view because they don’t rotate with the view. Go to Visibility/Graphic override in the view (View template if there is one applied to the views).

Change Fire Alarm Device’s detail level from By view to Fine.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now all the plan symbols are hidden, but the tag remains with the correct rotation.

If the symbol itself is moved the tags in all the views will follow.
