Tag Question Please.....

[Anonymous]

Okay I know this has been beaten to death but here goes.  I have supply and return air terminals.  I have two tags for these.  One with the ID and the cfm and one for just the ID.  IOs there a way to tag each one with it's appropriate tag with changing the tag first or going bac kto do it after?  Maybe I missed something.

No, since they are of the same Category. You can set the default Tag for the Category under Annotate tab » Tag ▼ Loaded Tags. The best way to repeatedly Tag elements using a 'non-default' Tag, is to Tag an element, change that Tag to the correct Type via Type Selector, and then use the Create Similar tool with that Tag to create multiple instances of that Type.

I figured as much.  It would be nice if you set that in the family to read a certain tag  Does make it kind of time consuming to have to switch tags before or after rather then being able to set it to a "default" tag  THanks

I can see that being very useful. I imagine that it would work similar to setting an arrowlead to a Tag Type (a pull-down list to select an alternate default Category Tag to use), except that the initial setting would be something like "<By Category>". Sounds like a great wishlist item to me!
