Sequential Tag Numbering
As you place rooms, doors, and windows in a project, you can use tags that sequentially number the elements.
The tags automatically number based on parameters that you specify for each element. Values can be
alphabetical, numerical, or alphanumeric sequences.
Creating Sequential Room Number Tags
To number rooms, you enter a unique value for the Room Number parameter.
To create sequential room number tags
1 Place a room.
2 Click Modify, select the room (not the room tag), and click Modify Rooms tab
➤
Element
panel
➤
Element Properties.
Alternatively, you can right-click the room, and click Element Properties.
To select the room, move the cursor near the center of the room until a large X appears. This X
indicates the room boundaries. When you click the X, the room is highlighted in transparent
blue, indicating that it is selected.
3 In the Instance Properties dialog, enter a value for Number.
NOTE If you want to number rooms sequentially by floor, enter the number to begin with (such as
101, 201, 301, and so on) that corresponds to the current floor plan view. As you place subsequent
rooms on that level, the room numbers follow in sequence (202, 203, 204, and so on).
4 Click OK.
5 Click Home tab
➤
Room & Area panel
➤

All subsequent rooms are numbered sequentially.

To number window and door tags, you enter a unique value for the Mark parameter.

5 Place more instances of the element as desired.
All subsequent instances are numbered sequentially.
NOTE All doors and windows number sequentially regardless of type. For example, you place a French door and
then a single-flush door into a plan view. The French door is number 1; the single-flush door is number 2.
Symbols
A symbol is a graphic representation of an annotation element or other object. Symbols are sometimes
referred to as tags. For example, the following symbol legend identifies the annotation symbols that are used
