This is for the Department of I could kick myself or Dept. of why can't I remember this.
These are two images of the same Type Catalog, one works and the other doesn't. The key location of the issue/difference is marked in yellow. This first one won't work.
Two little spaces on either side of the colon, like this: Family Name : Family Type.

Hi Steve,
I'm sure you know this, but...:
If you export the type catalog file using the interface, you'll not have this issue. You may have to trim out what you don't need, but what is there will be correct.
Even if you want to create the catalog manually, comparing it to an interface exported one will make the problem more apparent.
Be aware also that if you're nesting generic annotations in structural framing families in Revit 2015+, there are a bundle of serious issues that occur. Update releases/service packs fix some of the issues, but not all. Kepler is also problematic.

The "Family Type" kind of parameter does not get created using the Export Family Types tool unfortunately.
Gosh. How have I never noticed that!
Does it work for importing Family Types using the interface?
For example, I created the parameter manually in csv and then I am trying to import it into Revit. It's not working for me.
Importing Family Types? I don't understand. Do you mean having the Type Catalog open during Load Family? If your type catalog is formatted properly then the Type Catalog should open...if it doesn't then an error message usually appears.
