Use advanced tagging options

00:03

The use of intelligent tags in rev. It

00:06

is not only a great way to save time when annotating your

00:09

views but also to leverage the

00:12

design based information found in electrical circuits

00:16

because tags automatically up to date with changes to the circuits.

00:19

This provides a highly effective way to monitor

00:22

the ongoing changes to your electrical design.

00:26

In this example,

00:27

we will create a view specifically for the purpose of displaying tags,

00:31

then edit an existing tag to display information that will

00:35

help to clarify circuit based information in our project.

00:40

The edited tag would then be used to monitor and to confirm changes made to a circuit

00:46

start by duplicating this view for the

00:48

purpose of displaying annotation in the project

00:51

use duplicate the detailing to retain the tags for the panel boards in the new view,

00:58

rename the view

00:60

one, lighting tagged,

01:05

highlight the circuit that contains the lighting in the

01:08

corridor and apply the arc wire type to this view

01:14

from the annotate tab select tag by category,

01:19

turn off the leader option

01:21

and apply a singular tag to any one of the wires

01:26

using the grip, move the tag away from the wire. So it can be seen more clearly

01:33

on review. The tag shows the circuit number

01:38

open the panel schedule for LP two

01:41

and move circuit number five to position seven.

01:48

A review of the tagged floor plan shows the updated value in the tag.

01:54

This is the default display when tagging wires and you'll find the

01:58

information displayed in other tags will

01:60

vary depending on the element being tagged

02:03

as electrical circuits are created and modified.

02:06

There'll be information other than circuit number that could be affected,

02:09

more information could be monitored and the

02:12

outcome of changes to circuits seem more easily

02:15

if the tank were edited to display

02:17

important information while defining our electrical circuits,

02:21

select the tag and open it in the family editor.

02:26

It's preferable not to overwrite the existing tag.

02:29

So you save as to save this tag under the name electrical design tag,

02:42

select the label from the screen and choose edit label either from the ribbon

02:47

or the label properties.

02:52

The list of available fields on the left hand side

02:54

represents the information that can appear in the customized tag.

02:58

The label parameters to the right is the

03:00

information that is currently displayed in the tag.

03:05

We'll add panel to the label parameters by using the green arrow in the center.

03:13

The order in which the label parameters are seen here

03:15

is the order they will be seen in the tag.

03:18

So use the up arrow to move panel above the circuit number

03:23

select. Ok. And use the grips to widen the box around the label.

03:31

In use, the tag would display the information as one unbroken line,

03:37

edit the label and add a break

03:41

in select. OK.

03:44

The panel name now appears above the circuit number

03:51

at the label. Once more,

03:53

remove the brake

03:56

and add a space and a dash into the suffix field of the panel row

04:04

select, OK? To review the display of the tag

04:10

once complete, save the tag and choose load into project.

04:17

Select the original wire tag from the type selector

04:22

and change it for the electrical design tag.

04:27

Finally

04:28

select the circuit and change the panel to LP one

04:36

and note the updated reference displayed on the tag,

04:41

creating views specifically for displaying

04:43

tags while developing electrical design

04:46

and editing existing tags to leverage more of the design based information

04:51

in your project provides an effective

04:53

and efficient method of verifying design change

04:57

specific and accurate information displayed in tags

05:00

as a method for establishing key design

05:03

values rather than highlighting and reviewing the

05:06

full range of circuit properties available.
