Why won't circuit tag work on electrical equipment?
I have copied electrical fixture circuit tags (which display the panel name and circuit number) and changed the family category on them to get them to work on fire alarm, security, mechanical equipment, and various other familiies. However, I can NOT get circuit tags to work for electrical equipment.
Is this operator error, a revit bug, or is this "working as intended"?
Why won't circuit tag work on electrical equipment?
I am using Revit 2015.

The "supply from" parameter works great for indicating the panel name! Is there also a parameter that will display the circuit number that the equipment is connected to?

Nope. You could create an instance parameter and fill it out manually, but that would defeat the purpose. You could also try changing the part type, but I doubt that would be a good idea.

Cannot tag electrical equipment but you can tag a wire. In most cases each piece of electrical equipment has a single homerun and you tag the homerun. Otherwise just draw a small bit of wire coming out of the piece of equipment and tag that.

I would recommend letting the panel schedules and one-line convey this information rather than a tag on plans. As a general rule, putting the same information in more than one place isn't a great idea.
