Ask the average AutoCAD user or Revit user if they know what it is or if they've used it and the answer all too often is, "What's that?" Obviously there is some reluctance to review drawings on screen, on the computer. To make the review process easier and more like paper we really need to use the largest screen that we can manage.

It sure would be cool to create a tag that will do something that was so simple in AutoCAD… underline itself no matter how long it gets. To make my tag, I will just place 2 pieces of text in a drawing (“%%uP- “ and “XXX”) as I want to see them for a tag. Remember “%%u”? The underline must span both parts.

Before creating this schedule, place some diffusers in a drawing and set different CFMs in them. Schedules, like other objects in an ABS drawing are controlled by a style.
