Ability to add graphic symbols to schedules.

[Revit Wishes]

Summary: For example a Note Block schedule could include the actual note block symbol rather then just the mark. Same with revisions. In AutoCAD we would show the triangle in the list of revisions (schedule) as well as near the bubbles.

Description: Ability to add graphic symbols to schedules, such as a check mark or a dot for a yes/no parameter in a schedule.

How Used: For example a Note Block schedule could include the actual note block symbol rather then just the mark. Same with revisions. In AutoCAD we would show the triangle in the list of revisions (schedule) as well as near the bubbles.

I would like to amend this request with the additional ability to add detail (and other view) references to schedules. For instance, head/jamb/sill detail [bubbles] in a Door Schedule, or molding detail [bubbles] in a Room Finish Schedule. Of course these should be intelligent "symbols" and they should move with column/row stretching.

Also, a bullet symbol (e.g., large dot, box, check mark, etc.) should be allowed to indicate "YES" in yes/no fields. In this case, "NO" would be indicated by an empty field.

I concur.

Right now, one can only use the Character Map under Windows Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools and copy and paste a wide variety character symbols. In AutoCAD, it is built in.
