Interior elevation <Orientation> autotext

Anonymous
Not applicable
Is there a way to limit the <Orientation> and <ShortOrientation> autotext for interior elevations to just the cardinal directions (N, S, E, W)?

Due to energy code requirements, we cannot use ordinal directions (NE, SW, etc.)

Our building is oriented just north of NE, but for energy modeling we need to approximate this to be "North".
Unfortunately, all of my autotext is defaulting to the closest ordinal direction (NE).

I could change the overall orientation of the project to make this auto-text read correctly, however I am hoping to do sun studies so I would prefer to have the orientation be accurate.
