   2. Tag the element: click Annotate tabTag panelTag drop-down (By Category).
5. Select the element that you placed, for example, a window.
6. On the Properties palette, locate the parameter that you chose when creating the label in either the instance or type properties. For example, if you defined the label to include the Manufacturer parameter, click Edit Type to open the Type Properties dialog.
7. Enter a value for the parameter and click OK (if entering a type property).
