Room tags and leader

[katiedickinsonn]

Hello

I have upgraded Revit from  2022 to 2024 and I am having a major issue with Room Tags and the new leader feature. 

As a part of my job, we use room tags alot and we can use up to 500 room tag on some jobs. 

When I move a block of rooms + tags the room tag automatically doesn't follow with the room origin. It will move out of the room and the leader will appear and the the tag showing a "?".  

I have tried selecting all and unticking Leader but the room tag doesn't even go back to the room origin!! 

Does this happen to anyone else or does anyone have any work arounds? This is nearly a deal breaker with us using Revit

Thanks

If you have a Room Tag without Leader, the tag must be inside the boundary of a room. If you Tick the Leader, it should allow you to drag the Tag outside the room. However if you move the boundaries of a certain room, sometimes the tag loses the assocciation - The workaround could be to place the "unassociated" room tags again:

This is happening to me too, the room tags will pop out of the rooms even if a wall is moved slightly, this new "feature" is a real downgrade from previous versions.

This is a major inconvenience. I rarely use leaders on room tags, and now they're being automatically added everywhere.

Is there a way to turn this off?

Automatic leders on room tags is a major annoyance. Instead of having all the room tags where I actually put them (without leaders because leaders only clutter the drawings anyway), they move to new random locations. When I select all room tags in a view and turn off leader for all of them, the tags remain in their new random location, many on the edges of the rooms because of the unnecessary long leaders.
This may be the most ill advised change in Revit since I started using Revit over a decade ago.
Automatic leaders should be turned OFF by default, with the option to change the .ini file to turn them ON. Revit is automatically generating extra work for me.

In agreement with everyone else here. I didn't actually realize this was a new feature of Revit, and thought it was either an odd setting in the family or just user error on the part of my team members. Was causing a lot of frustration and a lot of re-doing work. I appreciate they have a link above on how to address, but it baffles me that the official way to modify this behavior is to edit an ini file. Not exactly user friendly!
