Looking for a better Interior elevation marker object

I'm in desperate need of a better interior elevation symbol --one that has linking to PM via sheet and drawing number, but which (crucially) can be rotated without the text going sideways. Also, it needs to have the drawing # at one point. See the sketch, below.

Has anyone made or seen such a beast? For me the "Interior elevation tool" doesn't cut it (no live linking to the sheets). My hope with this is that I can use the section tool and overlap as many section markers as req'd (up to 4) to elevate the interior walls I need.

Willing to buy, just haven't found it yet.... Unfortunately I don't have the GDL chops to make this myself. Any info greatly appreciated.

Not to hijack this link but I think the Elevation Marker that is included will work fine for me except that it doesn't resize. I can resize the text but not the marker. And being inexperienced in the code I made a copy but can't figure out how to change the size. Any ideas?
By resize, do you mean resize at different scales, or do you mean resize using the resize command?

I just mean a simple resize using section marker size box in the section info box. It works for the other markers but not this one.

Never Mind. I have seen the beauty of Toms interior elevation part.

I'M NOT HAPPY WITH THE INTERIOR ELEVATION SYMBOLS EITHER. I'M TRYING TO RESIZE THE SYMBOL AND JUST NOT LIKING THE RESULTS.. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE ARE MORE SYMBOLS OUT THERE?

This is a new one I have that will be part of my templates for ArchiCAD 10 that will be available soon. As of now it is only available as part of the templates, but if there is enough interest I'll make it available separately.

I have written under this theme:

How about this detail section marker with separate end-figure?
Please see the section-detail in index.
This architect offic uses also AC as known.
It would be really great to downloade this marker.

As we transition to another version of Archicad, the auto reference features have changed somewhat making marker from 9 un-usable in 10. It seems like Graphisoft should address this very basic need with an appropriate marker that ships with the application.

This is what I have put together using elevation markers. It works well but it takes up some space which in a small room can be hard to fit it in with other annotations etc, especially if you need all four walls. The one I wish I could have is identical to interior elevation marker on Archi User 77 attached PDF (index sheet).

The PDF-file from me is from NCS-office.
They are using AC (they have shown many times for AC-training guide)

I think, every marker from them is better than original AC-marker.
Pleas give us (AC-user) same marker !!! We need it.
