About Tags as Multi-View Block Definitions

Tag tools have predefined properties. Each tag is a multi-view block with attributes. Values from the property set data of the object can be transferred to the tag attributes if, when the tag is added, the tag attributes include the names of the property set definition and the property definition. An example of an attribute definition tag for a door is DoorStyles:DoorHeight. Attribute definition tags cannot have extended names (names that contain spaces). If you use extended names for your property set or property definitions, you cannot display those objects automatically through the use of a tag anchor.

Because tag attributes are linked to property set data, the tag attributes change when the property set data changes. For example, the number displayed in a door tag associated with a door is updated when the number property of the door is renumbered. To edit the information that displays in the tag, edit the property set data.

Schedule tags are organized as multi-view block definitions under Multi-Purpose Objects in the Style Manager.
