1. First open an elevation.
2. Select all the windows (activate the window tool &select all ctrl/cmd+A)
3. IN the info box or the Label & Listing Tab of the Window setting box check the Label Object box.

4. deselect the windows and activate the Label Tool. Select all the labels that appeared one on each window.

5. change the label type to Window Marker and then edit the settings so it looks like you want it.

6. Be sure to check the "Use Label'S Arrow' because the arrow for the window marker is to NOT have and arrow.

7. Note that in the window label you can have it read the ID box. I suggst using this as you can quickly fill in the door/window ID in your Info Box.

Do the same for doors and then repeat for each elevation.

Has anyone come across this:
Window makers work correctly on North and South elevations... But not on the East and West. The Marker cannot be rotated to read horizontally.
As you can see in the screen shot...in one case the preview is correct, but it's still rotated on the elevation.

Every time I need to show call outs for doors and windows!
I am sure it's fixed in v16...... Right?

Yup. Cannot understand why this never gets fixed...

At the time I reported this AC16 was going into final compiling. The bug is in the queue though, so look for a future update to fix the trouble.
