Viewing the Connection Between Tags and Objects
Use this procedure to view the current link between a schedule tag and an object. If you have many tags and are not
sure how they are attached, it is useful to see this link displayed. This procedure turns on the General display
representation for Anchor Tag To Entity and Anchor Extended Tag to Entity in the current view.
1 On the Format menu, click the Display Manager.
2 Expand Sets.
3 Select the current display set, which appears in bold in the list under Sets.
4 Click the Display Representation Control tab.
5 In the Objects list, locate Anchor Tag To Entity and Anchor Extended Tag to Entity, and select the General
display representation for both.
6 Click OK.
7 Regenerate the drawing, if necessary.
The link between the schedule tag and the object is displayed as an arc. The tag and object are attached
from insertion point to insertion point.
Renumbering Property Set Data
Use this procedure to renumber objects that are included in a schedule or linked to schedule tags. You may want to do
this if you moved them in the building model or if you have deleted objects. Only those property definitions with a
Type of Auto Increment—Integer or Auto Increment—Character can be renumbered with this procedure. For more
information, see “
Adding Tags Using Schedule Tag Tools ” on page 2030.
1 Open the tool palette that you want to use, and select the Renumber Data tool.
A Renumber Data tool is located with the Scheduling and Reporting Tools in the Stock Tool Catalog. You
can add this tool to any tool palette. For more information, see “
Content Browser ” on page 79.
2 In the Data Renumber dialog, select the property set to renumber.
You select the property set that contains the number property. For example, if you renumber doors, you
select the DoorObjects property set.
3 Select the start number.
4 Select an increment value.
Each number in the drawing is increased by this amount in the drawing when the property set data is
renumbered. For example, if the start number is 1 and the increment is 3, the sequence would number 1,
4, 7, 10, and so on.
5 Select Attach New Property Set to add a new property set to the numbering sequence.
6 Click OK.
7 Select the object or schedule tag to which you want to assign the new start number, continue renumbering,
and press
ENTER
.
NOTE Under certain circumstances, such as after Renumber Data during RefEdit, you may see duplicate property set definition
names. For example, the property set definition name may be preceded by “$1$.” Modify these property set definitions by
opening the attached drawing and making the changes. For more information, see “Edit Selected Objects in Referenced
Drawings and Blocks” in AutoCAD Help.
