Making schedule tables using block attribute data

[Anonymous]

How can I generate a schedule table from block attribute data? I have a block called "door_tag" which contains attribution definitions. As I insert the blocks next to the doors on the plan I fill in the prompted information. I tried to create a Schedule Table Style using Property Set Definitions that will use the data from the blocks attributes I have inserted. All I can get is lots of table cells with "?" in each.

You have to have a space in the room>tagged with a room tag(non attribute kind) then the door can be tagged with a door tag(non attribute kind) You can have the door tag display what number you want by dragging the tag tail on the door into any space But for this all to work you have to use non attribute tags, must use tags that came with ADT or the modified version of. All tags get info from property set definitions for spaces, doors and so on.

ADT property data is stored with the object, not in attributes in tags. ADT tags are Multi-View Blocks that use view blocks with attributes to display selected property data, but the data resides on the object, and the tag pulls the displayed information from the object's data.

If you want to learn more about Property Set Definitions, Schedule Table Styles and Custom Tags, take a look at Brain Dumps No. 13 and 15, by Mr. Matt Dillon, at http://home.earthlink.net/~ccyanchar/ .
