Anybody out there know of a way to create sheet notes in Revit? I would like to be able to point at anything and place a tag (like a circle with a letter inside) and then have a list of notes that I can place on the sheet. I don't want to have to tag a specific item (like a door or a wall), I just want the arrow to indicate a point in space (like an arrow connected to text), but have a tag at the end of the arrow instead of text... then have that tag reference some sort of legend that I can place on a sheet. Is this possible in Revit? If not, why not - this is a common requirement in architectural drawings.
Any help is appreciated!

As shown in this article from Wikihelp?

These are not actual "tags" in the same way as the built-in door tag or window tag. These are generic annotation symbols. It's a simple family that you can create with the generic annotation symbol, with a square and a label. Then, in the project by using the Symbol icon, in the Annotate tab. Then, you add a leader, then you enter information in the label.
Thanks again, Alfredo. Your explanation makes great sense. Two final thoughts:
1. Your explanations should be added to the Wikihelp page.
2. Autodesk should make sheet notes easier to implement and use... they are a normal part of architectural and engineering drawings and should be more fully implemented into Revit.
Cheers,

1. Yes, I could add those notes to the article, as additional information.
2. Well, there is a more powerful feature, for the same or similar purpose, already implemented : keynotes.
