Firstly, where the hell are the 'built in' Multi-category and by Category tags?!

It took me ages to find the Material tag, and not even a Windows folder search can find the others...

Anyway...

I made a Multi-category tag from the template, and it is simply reading off the Family & Type. What I'd like to know is, can you build a Multi-Category tag family that has a set of Types containing different category combinations that you can choose from?

e.g. - In the project I load my tag family, I can then select from the Type selector if my tag will read off 'Family + Cost', 'Family + Description', etc...

Also, is there a way to control the leader type in a Tag family? In the family editor there seems to be no leader at all... But you can then change the arrow head in the project...

I'm not sure that I've understood You correctly, /
You want to have one tag with few types to show different information about the family?
If yes the answer is Yes.
You have to design the tag with the visibility options for each group of information. Then, create the different types, eg.
Cost
Name
Descritpion
etc,
and add the visibility options to each type.
Thanks to this You will receive one tag with few types, and while changing the type You can show different information ( with one tag)
I hope it is clear :)

Nice :)

I knew it'd be something simple that Autodesk could have just built in for us anyway...

Thanks!
