Length parameter to annotation tag

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

Does anyone know if we can add length parameter as an instance parameter for an annotation tag family.

I have a generic model family and I need to give some information to it and it varies from instance to instance.

So I need a tag family with length parameter for tag box which I could adjust.

Is there any way to achieve this by using conventional Revit methods or by Dynamo?

Thanks in advance..!

Looking for same concern.

You create a shared parameter, add it as an instance to a dim (Label Dimension) in the generic family, and then create the tag and add the same parameter.

You can give an instance parameter to a generic annotation family and change it via properties in project. It does not wok with tags because tags are type based families.

Here is an example generic model with a tag calling of the length which is an instance property

The question is about the length of the tag box, not the reported length of the host.
