the names of the property set definition and the property definition. An example of an attribute definition tag for a door is DoorStyles:DoorHeight. Attribute definition tags cannot have extended names (names that contain spaces). If you use extended names for your property set or property definitions, you cannot display those objects automatically through the use of a tag anchor. Because tag attributes are linked to property set data, the tag attributes change when the property set data changes. For example, the number displayed in a door tag associated with a door is updated when the number property of the door is renumbered. To edit the information that displays in the tag, edit the property set data. For more information, see "Entering Manual Properties and Fields for Objects" on page 2063. When you are tagging multiple objects, tag a single object first. The placement of the first tag relative to the object you are tagging is used to determine the placement of subsequent tags. Select one object at a time when using the multiple tag option in order to control the numbering sequence of the tags. The sequence of auto-incrementing is undefined if you use a crossing window or another multiple selection tool. Tags are positioned relative to the objects being tagged. ■ For walls, the tag (or the end of its leader) is positioned relative to the midpoint of the wall. ■ For spaces, the tag (or the end of its leader) is positioned relative to the center of the geometric extents of the space. ■ For all other objects, a tag with a leader is placed with the end of the leader at the geometric center of the object. Tags without leaders are placed at the same distance and direction as the first tag, relative to the center of the object. NOTE When you insert schedule tags into drawings, use the appropriate base units for the tag to match the drawing scale properly. For more information, see "Units in Property Data Formats" on page 2059. Adding Door and Window Schedule Tags Use this procedure to add schedule tags to doors and windows. You can use one of the predefined door and window tag tools provided with the software, or you can create a new tool for a tag you define. For more information, see "Creating a Schedule Tag" on page 2033. 1 Open the tool palette that contains the door or window schedule tag tool you want to use, and select the tool. Predefined door and window tag tools are located in the Documentation Catalog in the Content Browser. You can add these tools to any tool palette. 2 Select the door or window to which to attach the tag. 3 Specify the location of the tag. 4 If prompted, enter property set data for the door or window on the Edit Property Set Data worksheet, and click OK. For information about preventing the worksheet from displaying each time you add a tag, see "Turning Off the Edit Property Set Data Worksheet" on page 2033. If property set data is not yet attached to the object, you can attach an appropriate property set from the current drawing or the Schedule Tables.dwg file in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\ACD-A 2008\enu\Styles\Imperial or Metric. For more information about property sets, see "Property Set Definitions" on page 2069. 5 Enter m, press ENTER, and select multiple doors or windows to tag. 6 Alternatively, press ENTER, and add schedule tags one at a time. Adding Object Schedule Tags Use this procedure to add schedule tags to a block reference or a multi-view block reference, such as equipment or furniture. You can use one of the predefined tag tools provided with the software, or you can create a new tool for a tag you define. For more information, see "Creating a Schedule Tag" on page 2033. 1 Open the tool palette that contains the schedule tag tool you want to use, and select the tool. Predefined object tag tools are located in the Documentation Catalog in the Content Browser. You can add these tools to any tool palette. Adding Tags Using Schedule Tag Tools | 2031
