How to create sheet notes

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!

Peter

As shown in this article from Wikihelp?

Thanks Alfredo. This does help... it shows that it can be done. But how do you place the tags? The only way I can find to place the tags is to copy them from the sample file and then copy them around the drawing (or use the "create similar" command).

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,

Peter

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.
