Help with Space Label rotation

[domer1322]

I have a plan where I want to keep the space labels on a design layer in a "north orientation".  I also want to show that design layer in a viewport that is rotated to an "easterly orientation" so that I can fit it on page in the best way.  The result is as shown on the attachment .... the space names in the viewport are all rotated to be read from the right side of the page, but I'd like the viewport to read them from the bottom of the page.   Is there a way to rotate the space label names in the viewport without rotating them in the design layer ?   Is there a different way to achieve this ?

 

I've found that the space label OIP allows the labels to be rotated on the design layer, but this won't achieve my objective of having it be one orientation on the design layer but a different orientation on a sheet layer viewport.  Is this possible?

@domer1322, perhaps the solution is to NOT use the Space Label at all and use Data Tags...see if this one works for you...they will both rotate as you need and scale properly in viewports

Hello Wes, any tutorials on how to work with Data Tags?

[Guest Wes Gardner]

@Ramon PG   there are a couple of video tutorials on Vectorworks University - https://university.vectorworks.net/course/

 

A few folks have posted custom data tags here -

Wes .... thanks for the reply, but it won't work for me to use data tags since I'm using VW 2015.   However, I think you answered my question in that it appears there is no way to do what I want .... (using VW 2015).

you can duplicate the label and put it in another class, label 1 can you set on an angle of nord orientation and label 2 in a other orientation. No can play with the visability of the classes in the designlayer or sheetlayer
