Data Tag - Materials of a Symbol

[Nuno Antunes]

Hi everybody! I Kindly ask help to this Forum Community help on this point:

 

- It is possible to have Data Tag refering to the different materials applied in a Symbol?

 

The idea is to have:

1 - Data Tag in a Section Viewport Annotation of symbol

2 - Identify several Materials of the Symbol (attached drawing)

3 -  The Data Tags automatically update if we change on of the Materials (Example: From White Leather to Black Leather)

 

Something similar to the attached drawing.

 

Thank you for your help.

 

Looking forward from some help/ suggestion

Hi,  I'm also after this exact tag and surprised I haven't been able to find any information on how to do it.  Does anyone know how to do this?

 

Thank you

I do not believe it is possible to tag items in a symbol.  You can tag the symbol but not the data within.

You can put data tags within symbols - I use wall tags within drawings of apartments that are converted to symbols. The problem is they tend to visually disappear and have to be regenerated which is a P.I.A. I use them as I change wall type designations often but prior to publishing to make them visible (they disappear upon publishing) I create a copy in place and convert the tags to a group.

That’s cool but I wish you could tag symbols from outside the symbol.
