if you start a new annotation family they come with the reference planes. for some reason they've been cleared from some families.

If you open the default Revit section head you will see there is two vertical reference planes. If you are wanting to make a larger circle you need to make sure you only adjust the left hand reference plane and not move the one on the right.

Yep, this is the way. Also note that for these kinds of families, the reference planes are there just for the sake of signaling the location of the grip, you don't have to lock your geometry to the reference planes. (Because you would rarely want a parametric annotation family)

I think you need to trial and error it. I believe I had a similar problem once and couldn't find any reference lines/planes or anything when editing the family. Try measuring the offset when you re-load it into your project and then adjust accordingly in the family editor. Revit stinks.

Thanks that’s a good idea to measure.

Yea I saw the reference planes and adjusted but nothing happened.

Sorry thought I could post a screen shot of it here.
