Rotate ID Tag for Doors and Windows

[KatieB]

We drew a house in Top/Plan view with North at true North. We are rotating the view to print so that it fits on the page, which means that in the Top/Plan view all our text needs to be rotated 90 degrees. This has been no problem to handle manually, except for the tags associated with the door and window tools. If we keep the box checked as "Keep ID Horizontal", it wants to refer to the horizontal of the unrotated view. If we uncheck that box, it is entirely dependent on the door's position as vertical or horizontal. I there anyway to rotate a door or window tag the way you are able to move them around separate from the door?

I see our last resort as rotating ALL of our plan files 90 degrees so that North is to the right (and not just rotating saved views), which is obviously not the desired outcome!

Thoughts? Thank you!

Hello

I assume your meaning the WINDOOR tool by ozcad?

Also which vectorworks version are you using?

Not sure about the previous or latter versions, but for version 2011:

The windoor ID's are pulled from an external file. (usually in your \library\default\windoor\IDs folder.

if you open the file (WinDoor ID Symbols.vwx) in that location you'll see all the ID's as symbols. You can duplicate and rename the one that you want to edit; and rotate it in its symbol edit mode.

Go back to your project file and your edited/rotated ID should show up in the list of ID's to use. Use the rotated ID.
