Detail Tag HELP

[Anonymous]

I am interested in two things and I have not been able to do it.

I insert a door tag, room tag etc at say in and 8th inch scale drawing now I
want to blow up that area to
say 4th inch. the tag does not change size to reflect new scale.

I insert a detail tag on a500 saying detail A on A701 but now I need to
change the sheet number to A702. Can I attach the tag to the sheet number to
update the tag when I change the detail number or sheet

Tim,

You will need to change the scale of the drawing using Desktop > Drawing
Setup, then insert a new tag. Fortunately, the data for the tag is part of
the door, so it will not need to be retyped. You can put the tags on
different layers, so that you can control which one shows. There are some
advanced display control things you can do that are beyond what you may be
ready for.

You can't tie the tag to an actual sheet without some sort of database
outside of autocad. Again, very advanced.

btw, have you looked at Revit? 😉 Sorry, you know I had to go there.
