    text size types with a door tag family

    I am still climbing the mountain of family creation just working away here by myself. I am stuck.
    I am halfway through creating a door tag family from the existing one which had 3mm text and an arc ended rectangle box of 3mm radius.
    I want to create a type with 2mm text and an arc ended rectangle box of 2mm radius.
    I am fine with the box ends, have popped in a dimension.
    But how do I tie in text size with the type parameters?

    Create 2 label types. Add both of them to your family one on top of the other. Then assign a differenct visibility parameter to each of them. In the type properties you will see 2 check boxes now, make 1 new type and uncheck the box for that size and do the same for the other.

    See example.

      Thank you very much alex. Now I remember having to deal with visibility parameters before in some of the family tutorials, so I understand this theory. I will apply.
      (I think my memory parameter is unchecked.)

          Alex,
          Here is my result, it does exactly what I want. Do you think it is built correctly?

          cheers

            Well if it is exactly what you want and need and is working for you then YES it is built correctly. :beer: Nice and simple. This is all you really need. However if you needed the family to have any more than 2 types I would recommend looking into nesting of families. There is a lot of info about this on this site poke around do some searches. I guarantee you will learn a lot.
