To Add Tags to Objects

Use this procedure to add schedule tags to objects, a block reference, or a multi-view block reference, such as equipment or furniture. You can use one of the predefined tag tools provided with the software, or you can create a new tool for a tag you define.

If you are working in a structured project environment in AutoCAD Architecture 2025 toolset, project-based tags recognize additional information about the objects if you tag objects in view drawings. There are predefined, project-based tags provided.

  1. Open the tool palette that contains the tag tool you want to use, and select it.

    Alternatively, you can click Annotate tab Scheduling panel, and select one of the tag tools there.

    Additional predefined tag tools are located in the Documentation Catalog in the Content Browser. You can add these tools to any tool palette.

  2. Select the object to which to attach the tag.
  3. Specify the location of the tag.
    Note: Different object tags may have different prompts. The steps below may not correspond exactly to those for the object tag you are placing.
  4. If prompted, enter property set data on the Edit Property Set Data worksheet, and click OK.

    If property set data is not yet attached to the object, you can attach an appropriate property set from the current drawing or the Schedule Tables.dwg file in C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ACA <version>\enu\Styles\<Imperial or Metric>.

  5. Enter m, press Enter, and select multiple objects to tag.
  6. Alternatively, press Enter, and add schedule tags one at a time.
