Data Tags for truss and hang Positions

[ChrisSterman]

Hello I am looking to create a data tag for a hang position. That tells me the name of the truss. What size truss or symbols would be in each Hang Position 

I like it to creat a truss Data tag that would look like this

Truss Name: T-1

Length  158'

12"x12" Bolt Plate

(15)10' (1)5' (1)2'

Trim: 28'

also Like export tag data to a spread sheet. 

 

Has anyone else did this?   Or have an idea how to 

Thank you for your time

Hi Chris,
Take a look at the posts here: https://forum.vectorworks.net/index.php?/forum/186-data-tags/
You can do most of what you want. The limitation is that VW Data Tags are not able to look inside other objects, so looking inside the hanging position for the number of sticks of truss is the trick.
With that said, I think @Sam Jones and/or @JBenghiat have solutions for this.
