Create Symbols and automate the tag number

[mbmejia]

Hello Everyone, 

I was wondering if there was a way to create a symbol and then within in the symbol automate the room number?

Ex: 103, 104, 105

 

thanks

I don't think you can do it with a symbol but it is easily done with a simple non-associative Data Tag:

 

 

Better still however would be to use Spaces + tag them, then the tag is getting the data from the Space.

Hi @Tom W. - Thank you I am a bit new to vectorworks data tagging. How would I go about creating a  non-associative Data Tag and using spaces? If you could lead me to somewhere where I could learn more about this, that would be very helpful. Thanks

For Spaces see Help:

Have fun learning about them they are both great tools!
